The muscular tension of the boxers in George Bellows's 'Club Night,' gives it an unexpected modernity, painted as it was in 1907, six years before the famous Armory Show which brought cubism and post-impressionism to a bewildered New York public.

NeverFadingWood has been advised to have this operation urgently by his doctor. An ‘urgent’ operation in Krakow would give him an appointment in 2027. Thus the need to get it done privately.
I'm sorry to do this yet again, but I really need help.
I require an urgent colonoscopy, which has to be done privately. That costs money, which I don't have.
If you could possibly see your way clear to reposting or donating, I would be most grateful.

Clifford Rowe’s paintings reflect the spirit of realist art in Britain during the interwar years, portraying people at work and at leisure. 'The Fried Fish Shop,' (1936) draws on personal memory and social history, recalling a once cheap, filling meal for the working classes.

This is hilarious 🤣
Oh boy. It’s the 2025 watch prizes! Here we go- there are more winners than the Oscar’s so this is a bit of a thread.
We start at the top- the grand prize winner, for people who would like an expensive watch but are so rich it doesn’t matter what the actual time is.

I appear in a new RG4 film about Mick Meaney, having written about him in my last book, a hero to my generation in Kilburn. Yesterday our zoom about a Kilburn showing coincided with the Irish Post piece below.
There was sadness when I said what a great song Shane MacGowan could have made for Mick.

'An English Holiday, a Puncture’ was one of several panels of a mural depicting scenes from rural life that Lord Beaverbrook commissioned from Mary Adshead in 1928 for the dining room at his house in Newmarket; the mural was cancelled, the panels were later exhibited in London.
