Hop along to the @V_and_A to catch their Beatrix Potter: Drawn to Nature exhibition; perfect for our Illustration students!🐸
We couldn't resist having a look at some of the Beatrix books in our collection, spanning her classic picture books to wonderful watercolour landscapes:
So yet another fashion icon has passed #ThierryMugler RIP.😢He was a favourite of #DavidBowie who wore a TM dress for the #BoysKeepSwinging video in 1979 & a gorj suit for #TinMachine vid 91/92.
#RaymondBriggs, creator of #TheSnowman, lived in #Sussex & taught here @uniofbrighton (#Brighton School of Art). The flying sequence features some of our famous landmarks. Some say it's 'schmaltz' but we say 'look again' coz it's just a beautifully done #Xmas fave.
3/3: #Baya died in #Algeria in 1998, aged 66.😢Her image & work made it onto #Algerian stamps in 2008 & @GoogleDoodles commemorated her on what would have been her 87th birthday (12/12/2018). #BayaMahieddine باية محي الدين
1/2: Doing Reading List 4 @HumsBrightonUni module: 'Ideologies of Hate & the #Holocaust'.😢So interesting. Wish we could attend the lectures. DYK Italian #Futurists influenced #Mussolini & #Fascism? Their art looks innocuous but their manifesto?😱
We're off now. But look at this beautiful painting: 'A Moonlit Night at Sea' (1885) by #IvanAivazovsky. Not #Brighton tho.😢😂
We're closed on Monday for last English Bank Holiday of 2021.😢We're open again on Tuesday 31st August at 9:30. But if you're going to the park (or beach) remember to dispose of rubbish carefully or we'll set this 1960s Soviet (Russia) tree on you.😂'Do Not Desecrate Nature'!
