New exhibitions starting at Pallant House! William Nicholson's first major exhibition for 20 years. Probably best known as head of artistic dynasty, he's a wonderful still life, portraitist and print-maker. Should be good. pallant.org.uk/whats-on/wil...

Rene Magritte born #OTD 1898, Surrealism's poster boy (often literally) - if you want to get the movement, get Magritte. Currently subject of show at KMSKA Antwerp but also, included in the Barberini's fabulous sounding Unicorn exhibition kmska.be/en/magritte-...

Just started at National Gallery, niche little free exhibition based round Edwin Austin Abbey. Hardly a household name, even if you know his literary subjects. I'm intrigued. www.nationalgallery.org.uk/exhibitions/...

Camille Pissarro died #OTD 1903. He's the Impressionist people forget about, but arguably the most interesting. Big retrospective exhibition which was at Potsdam Barberini is currently in Denver, and he's also on show at Vienna's Lower Belvedere www.belvedere.at/en/cezanne-m...

Starting today at National Gallery - Joseph Wright of Derby exhibition. Sublime in many senses of the word. You could argue he's just a warm-up act for the Turner Constable face off coming to Tate. But what a warm-up. www.nationalgallery.org.uk/exhibitions/...
