'The Birdcatcher and the Poet.' John Craxton's painting immediately suggests the inspiration of Palmer and Blake. In the 1940s he drew and painted landscapes which included shepherds or poets: 'As projections of myself. A shepherd is a lone figure, and so is a poet.'

Rockwell Kent possessed the ability to render parallel universes: creating compositions that were representative, the realism that he claimed to adhere to, and the modernistic,expressing the intuitive versus what he physically viewed.

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.

Much of the charm of Bernard Dunstan's work comes from its accidental quality. While he constructed pictures in his studio using a hired model, he was happiest to come across an informality that makes them come alive, there's a lot of geometry under their casual appearance.

John Singer Sargent painted his friends in more experimental ways than his commissioned portraits. His reputation went into freefall after his death at the age of 69 mainly because his former friend, the critic Roger Fry, came to see Sargent as irrelevant to 20thC modernism.

@Datvires @jamesfr88883003 That silvery light surely derives from Corot. What I find interesting about his later work is that it's half way between naturalistic and dreamy. His Impressionist works are excellent.

This afternoon I popped into Christchurch Mansion in Ipswich to view Colin Davidson's monumental painting of the singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran. Davidson is a singular connoisseur of the portrait and his picture of Sheeran is eloquent proof of this.

This portrait of Gerald Brockhurst's first wife Anaïs has Pre-Raphaelite overtones of his early works which he later developed into a masterpiece of etching over a decade later.
