For a small picture, Clarice Beckett's 'Beach Road, Beaumaris,' (c1919) is dramatic in its impact; looking through her paintings gives the impression she saw in soft focus - the fairly consistent lack of brushstrokes makes the paint appear to float on the surface of the canvas.

When Whistler showed 'Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket,' in 1875, he outraged the chief moralist of art John Ruskin: 'I... never expected to hear a coxcomb ask 200 guineas for flinging a pot of paint in the public's face.' And so a lawsuit began.

Been to look at Organised Fire. Even though it's a symbol of historic oppression of Catholics. 😁 Current earworm: "as the flames rose to her Roman nose, and her walkman started to melt. " 🎵
