This day devoted to iconoclasts, some quieter than others but all fascinating. I began with the one I knew the least about, Evelyn Pickering de Morgan who was on display at the Guild Hall Art Gallery. I know I ought to have made my way to the Guild Hall at some point (if only for…

The Eyes Follow You Around the Room
I’d not been to the National in some time and it was hot and I was tired from running around London already that day so after a nice lunch (peh!) in the crypt at St Martin’s I crossed the road to see some old favourites. Title many of you will know was taken from this…
Abstract Erotic
Random bits first: the mosaic tunnel, which I learned about on IG; Gatsby is a musical now because everything seems to be turned into a musical with unmemorable music I dunno maybe it’s good but I doubt it. And Oscar: impossible to just get Oscar; there were even more people when I passed by him…

Oracles, Omens & Answers
Take a journey with me through time and space — no, not that one! — but to the city of aquatint last month. I made a quick jaunt to London for the tarot exhibit I decided I could not miss and a few other things (more to come…) and because I flew into Luton I…
