In this 1913 painting Malcolm Drummond depicts an audience seated within a darkened cinema. His subject matter may have been influenced by his one-time tutor Walter Sickert, who also depicted an audience watching a film in 'Gallery of the Old Mogul,' seven years earlier.

Masterpiece: George Frederic Watts painted 'Hope,' in 1886. The image of a weary, blindfolded figure is easily readable symbolism fit for repurpose. Martin Luther King based a sermon on it and Barack Obama used the painting's inspiration for the manifesto he published in 2006.

In 1925 Maurice de Vlaminck moved to the Eure-et-Loire region of Normandy where he lived for the rest of his life. Here he was able to paint his favourite landscapes using his rich, brooding, palette to express 'the one idea which excused everything: to say & paint what I felt.'

The directness and intensity of portraits made from life, like this portrait, lay at the heart of Annibale Carracci’s stylistic revolution & his obsession for recording daily experiences. His paintings became more descriptive of everyday life, making the world much more palpable.

There is nothing fussy or over-worked in Geoffrey Tibble's work which looks to the domestic impressionism of late 19th century Paris, to Degas and Sickert.
