At the current Hurvin Anderson exhibition at Museum , the artist has curated a room with works that were particularly influential on him.... included is this wonderful 1979 piece (from ) by Michael Andrews; Melanie & me swimming.

It was one of he first works I really remember being struck by (alongside a piece by Patrick Caulfield) when I was a young non-nothing gallery visitor in my early 20s.

@Barros_heritage I have not yet seen the rehang of Tate Britain's galleries, but suspect that I won't agree much with JJ Charlesworth's view here (he is also, whatever his postion as art critic, a committed contrarian on some political and environmental questions). Contextual curating of this type can be overwhelming for the viewer, but this rehang emerges from, among other things, the great success of the Caribbean art exhbition at Tate Britain, 'Life Between Islands'.

The Rossetti exhibition at was excellent.

The chronological displays showed the development of their as well as the link to their and the influence of .

There was a good deal of context relating to their connection to other artists, as well as the William Morris connection which I wasn't aware of.

The display of items showing their influence on later was a bit sketchy and might have been better left out.

Well worth the admission fee!

Interesting, thank you.
We're going to the Rossetti exhibition at tomorrow, but we've not got anything specific planned for Saturday - so that's an Idea

We've booked to visit the Rossetti exhibition at when we go to .

It's ferkin expensive in my opinion, but we see so much 'free' in public museums that I think we can justify the outlay.

I've got a love/hate relationship with the movement - we'll see if I'm moved either way when we go.

meanwhile over at , we've been assured that when the main collection rehang is revealed (shortly) half of all contemporary artists on show will be ... so I'm now intrigues about how far back 'contemporary' will stretch, and really hope this will not end up by cutorial virtue signalling... needs to be properly recognised as , not merely a recent development - but for now holding off judgment & hoping the announcement is in good faith!

"My favourite bit is the quote I gave Drag Queen Story Hour UK on the 3000 person petition against me:

“Only 3,000 signatures for one of the most internationally acclaimed museums in the world? Bit of a rubbish turnout isn't it.” 🤣🤣🤣"

@sbrackenborough I had time to check in on the Pre-Raphaelites too. I liked this little robin in the edges of the famous ‘Ophelia’

A shout-out for Tate Britain. Free admission, lots of great work to see, including Procession, by Hew Locke, a stunning comment on colonialism and enslavement
