Re: The Great Art Debate
Good friend of mine is an artist. A bloody good one too.
I have a few of her pieces hanging in my house.
Recently she sold some artwork to an international recording star.
She's currently in discussions with a very famous London Hotel about becoming their 'Artist in Residence'
I'm very excited for her. And the fact that the value of the pieces I have are set to soar. State Pension? I've shit it! (fingers crossed)![Pissed :pissed:](./images/smilies/Pissed.gif)

Paxman with an engaging preview of the Goya portraits at the National Gallery.
A must for me on the next London trip.

Re: The Great Art Debate
This morning, went for another look at the English Prints exhibition in the Bolton Art Gallery. Really attractive stuff, some of it. Had another look at the splendid Donald Wilkinson "Towards Borrowdale", a small but beautiful work. Can't put a pic up due to copyright regulations). Whilst there, well impressed by the fantastic framing and mounting and remembering a recent discussion, I asked who did it. The guy on receptions didn't know but thought some was done in house and some came in already framed. No help there then. Worth an ask though and the exhibition is well worth a visit.

Re: The Great Art Debate
I wonder if the cleaners ever tidied up Emin's room, made her bed, disposed of the tampons and condoms, gave the rug a vacuum, did their best to make it look clean and tidy and really a nice surprise for her.William the White wrote:They were and now they know they were...Bruce Rioja wrote:Well, they weren't wrong.

Re: The Great Art Debate
I'm reading Julian Barnes' book Keeping an Eye Open. This is a collection of essays by a major novelist on the paintings and artists that have inspired him. There are 17 chapters/essays on- mostly - French Art of the 19th and 20th centuries. He has an excellent feeling for the work and criticises with real perception. Best of all he writes fabulously well. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: The Great Art Debate
Played football tonight out at Battersea. Went for a beer afterwards and saw "creepy cabaret". First " act " was a Halloween-themed drag act mixing amateur magic with a spoken word poem about Narnia. It was f*cking awful. WtW would have loved.
Second act was a goth girl in nothing but granny pants and a sports' bra doing really bad gymnastics.
I didn't stay for the third act.
They're clearly geniuses and I didn't get it, but who the fcuk are these people. They all clearly have day jobs. Like, what?!
And I reckon stand up comedians are brave.
