Painting created by Brenda Marshall c.1957 in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital, Surrey, where she was compelled to live.

This Adam Ant birthday celebration post took on a life of its own overnight. There are some wonderful memories shared of one of the great pop stars. It's just full of lovely 🐜
Adam Ant is 71 today. Hard to emphasise how seismic this was in playgrounds across the country in 1980. For a period he was as big as any act has been. Was he the perfect pop star? I think so. It couldn't last but if you were there you'll never forget it.

People trying on clothes at the Way In boutique at Harrods, painted by Muriel Lewis c.1968, in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital where she was compelled to live.
Her work often depicts scenes from a seemingly materially affluent life outside hospital.
