'The greatest portraitist of this or any other time,' Walter Sickert once called Wyndham Lewis. It's quite an accolade; he was certainly one of the best painters of his generation. This picture of John MacLeod was one in a series of portraits of poets from 1938.

Ruskin Spear’s portraits consistently explore the human condition, revealing the vulnerability and emotional depth of his sitters. In this work (1932) it is his father who confronts his own frailty, a dignified reckoning with oneself.

'Notley Abbey, Thame.' (1955) A number of Tristram Hillier's tempera pictures have photography's visual trademarks, its distinctive tonality and visual confusions, its blurs and glares, the way it gives every detail a uniform level of attention, its casual compositions.

Hmmmmmmm.... How do we all feel about leg warmers?
As someone born in 1977, I grew up in the 80s when these truly were all the rage.
Someone tried to shit talk me once because they said I shouldn't be wearing leg warmers with lingerie
But like it's winter and they truly do keep your legs warm!

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers "Free For All" (1964) AAA 180g Classic Vinyl Edition store.bluenote.com/collections/...
Perhaps the Jazz Messengers' most potent album, the music bristled with the charged energy of the civil rights movement featuring a powerful sextet line-up.
