I'm particularly interested in William Morris, and not just because he lived around the corner from me. He wrote a rather thought-provoking utopian novelette called News from Nowhere, which can be read here: http://www.marxists.org/archive/morris/works/1890/nowhere/nowhere.htm

John Martin, and not just because he lived round the corner from me Wink

His pictures have so much drama in them, you can feel excited each new time you see them.



But you really need to see it six feet wide on the gallery wall to get the proper impact Sad

All sorts of things, none of them especially connected with each other. Generally I'm not such a fan of still lifes, but Cézanne is an exception, and this particular painting might well be top of my desert island list - for the proportion, the colours and shapes, the weird but completely intuitively 'right' perspective, the sense of everyday objects remorselessly viewed and yet at the same time magically transformed ...

Kitty, I don't know where to start, they're all beautiful! Especially the Crucifixion, although that Madonna and Child (the one on the right) comes close. I'm not personally very attracted to the Nash 'Totes Meer', although I'm pleased to see it again (a friend of mine wrote a piece based on it a few years ago), and I've never seen the one with the aeroplane trails in the sky before, which I like much better.

And 'The Virgin Spanking the Christ-Child' is so funny!

I'm very fond of this, Simone Martini's Discovery of Christ in the Temple (1342), which must be almost unique in showing Our Saviour Incarnate and Light of the World as an extremely stroppy teenager.

"Joseph: And just where the hell have you been all morning?! Just look at the state your mother is in. You know what her nerves are like.

Jesus (tapping foot in irritation): I've bin in the temple, abaht my Father's business, haven't I?

Joseph: But I've told you before about not going off without telling us, haven't I?!

Jesus (mumbling): Oh God, you're sooo boring. No one understands me."



[It's in the Walker Gallery, Liverpool]

I can't think of anything to say to that, KittyB  Cheesy Cheesy

Here's one that I think contains an object lesson for us all. Who can say that they haven't found themselves in this position? 

                              

                          'The Temptation of Saint Hilarion with Earthly Pleasures' by Dominique Papety


It's in the Wallace Collection if you want to go and check out the brushwork.
