We know what happened to the last PM who insisted on red lines... Starmer needs to grow some cojones or he'll be retiring much sooner than he anticipated & he needs to get off his high horse and start listening to ppl other than daily fail readers!
'Seawall and Lobster Pots.' In the 1940s and 1950s, Ruskin Spear made periodic trips to the Cornish coast - this view is probably from Newlyn (St Michaelβs Mount can be seen on the horizon) and there's a nod to the Newlyn School of painting, an artistic colony that had been established in 1880.
Hermen Anglada-Camarasa gained international fame at the turn of the 20thC for his expressionistic paintings, which influenced Picasso and Kandinksy in their use of colour. He lived permanently in Majorca from 1914 and swapped his focus on urban and figurative subjects in favour of landscapes.
Starmerβs handicap is the Tory press

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops.
They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities.
Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish .
Thank you.
Agreed, I feel very uncomfortable with them too.

'Request Stop, Hampstead.' (c1950) Stephen Bone painted a world that without being cloyingly nostalgic, is full of charm and understated sophistication. If you are wondering about the colour of the bus sign, white bus signs with a red circle indicated 'compulsory' stops.

Iβm a visual artist in Edinburgh. I never managed to build up a body of followers on X though I have quite a lot on Instagram. I just joined @bsky.app today. Hoping this is better. Here is one of my recent mono prints.
I love that especially the brushwork.
I've often admired the sketchy qualities of Jacques TruphΓ©mus' work, especially his interiors such as this 'Interior CΓ©venol,' from the late 1960s. He shared several exhibitions with Bernard Buffet, and at times, his work can be charming, melancholic, tragic, sardonic, or a combination of all these.
Hi Richard, any chance could you follow me back, so I can DM you occasionally? ThanksβοΈ

I was talking about Lowry today in my class I feel thereβs a lot of Marquet in his work

'A Street Musician.' (c1940) Robert Taylor Carson's subject matter is wide-ranging but an interest in people and their way of life was a common thread throughout his career. Around the date of this work, he became an unofficial war artist capturing the life of American troops in Northern Ireland
