It's pretty baffling to me that some political individuals and parties are blaming the current government for "unleashed" (im)migration when they created the principles and consequences of "the problem" themselves. Extraordinary!

Great show by Miriam Margolyes at the Edinburgh Fringe with "Margolyes & Dickens: more best bits" yesterday. Fun and funny, light and deep, always tremendously sincere *****

Piet Mondrian, "Broadway Boogie Woogie," 1943, 127 cm x 127 cm (New York, Moma. Credit: moma.org)

The portrait depicts the hustle and bustle of the borough of Manhattan. The idea of the city is conveyed by the grid of vertical and horizontal yellow lines crossing each other, creating white squares and rectangles. The dynamicity of the city is given by the idea of boogie-woogie, a music style that Mondrian loved, conveyed by smaller light grey, red, blue squares and rectangles.
