Just gonna throw this out there that no book is more prescient for the times we face. It’s not hyperbole to say that the similarities to right now are chilling. You won’t vote your way out of this with a spineless opposition party and this is going to end very badly for many, many people.

He turns up at a TV studio with an almighty bad hangover to find a somewhat disturbed & deranged elderly woman preaching at him.

'Sleeping Girl.' (1927) Just like Laura Knight, Dod Procter became well known in Britain in the mid-1920s after painting a series of portraits of young women using the fall of light across the figures to give a sense of volume; a style which shows her admiration for Giotto.

Sadly there were deadly economic protests in Iran, today Tomorrow we will have to listen to all the useless American politicians, and talking heads who write laws against us protesting, who get us arrested for protesting Israeli Genocide and Occupation, cheer for protestors in Iran.

There are far, far too many deaths in bar and club fires caused by pyrotechnics. These incidents are utterly horrifying, far too frequent and should be prevented. To this list (from Ed Galea) you can now add Switzerland and Goa:

Just a gif of the EU flag projected onto the London Eye as part of Mayor Sadiq Khan's London's New Year's Day fireworks 😀

The UK is £90 billion a year poorer because of Brexit i.e. tax rises and spending cuts, it's absurd

One day soon the madness will end and the UK will #RejoinEU ☺️

Frances Byng Stamper (left) and her sister Caroline Byng Lucas were important supporters of the arts in Wales in the 1930s. Cedric Morris’s double portrait of them possibly doesn't show their best side. The sisters were said to be unhappy with this unflattering picture.

'The Glass Bowl.' (1920) William Nicholson was particularly fond of using glassware as the main focus of his still lifes. The properties of the contrasting shapes and reflections provided endless painterly possibilities for him to show off his treatment of light, tone, and form.

Joseph Southall's portrait (1902) is of his mother Elizabeth Baker. Southall trained at the Birmingham School of Art which pivoted around William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones, he had been sensitised since childhood to art's role as a weapon against Victorian utilitarianism.

'Vase of Flowers.' (1953) Dorothy Mead was taught by David Bomberg and became a founding member of the Borough Group, its output distinguished by angular, expressionist, dense brushwork. She enjoyed critical success showing alongside Hockney and Bridget Riley.

This portrait of the artist Eileen Mayo (1936) by Edith Lawrence was a rare depiction for its day, of a female artist by another female artist. Both were alumnae of the Grosvenor School as well as the Slade having studied there alongside David Bomberg and Stanley Spencer.
