I just want to get a blog posted as quickly as possible today, aware as I am that I haven’t posted recently and I saw this ages ago (same day as the Barbican show); so lots of pics and few, if any, inane comments.
Bacon’s Studio
Rauschenburg
Frankenthaler
Auerbach
Not sure who this is – like it though.
Know this one though – its Schwitters
Duncan Grant of course
I think this screen is Grant too.
Again sorry, didn’t get the name – really big and impressive though.
The great Grace Hartigan by one of her paintings.
The more acute reader or viewer will have noticed that only a few of these pics show artists’ studios, despite the title of the show. I too am perplexed by this but I don’t really care that much, as the paintings are good, and that’s what we go to see – isn’t it?
Actually, the best thing in the show is a video of William Kentridge in a dialogue with himself, that is to say two images of him, one asking the other questions and the other failing to answer. If you go, be sure to watch.
Here’s a couple of my latest figure efforts to finish. Back to normal service next blog.
