The Rooftops of Ghent (unfinished) c1920-22

A great opportunity to see an artist's work in progress; the grid he has drawn is still visible on the top right hand side.

I do like the mixture of melancholy and resilience of a lone, wind-battered tree on top of Dartmoor on a foggy winter's day.

It's so gross, & I'm seeing folks that should really know better using it to upscale pics or create entirely imagined scenarios. Then they're like "but we labeled it as AI" when one of the things AI does best is to divorce things from context, rendering that little AI asterisk bullshit immediately
The point is--Generative AI is being used to create fake additional content for even niche historical topics, like the exhibits within a World's Fair pavilion. These images are going to continue to get more realistic. It's dissipointing to have to add this new layer of vigilance to research.

Thérèse Lessore

This view of Bath is taken on St Margaret’s Hill and focuses on Walcot Parade overlooking London Road.

Lessore lived in a suburb of Bath from 1938 with her husband, artist Walter Sickert. Also a student of Sickert, Lessore’s work has sometimes been mistakenly attributed to him.
