More giggles - from FB

Throughout the centuries artists have created vivid war imagery - #Goya in the 19th century, WW1 by #Sargent & #Spencer. However it’s #Moore’s drawings of people on The Tube sheltering from the Blitz that haunt me. They could be corpses, refugees, Holocaust survivors etc #vss365

The Great Depression & a drought lead to the agricultural devastation of the mid-West. The soil was swept away by the wind, creating the #dust bowl. The New Deal failed to help the smallholders & share-croppers who took to their cars to find work. All captured in art #vss365

I love getting lost in a #history painting. It’s a style which has fallen out of favour but whether it’s Socrates’ death, Washington on his boat trip or Pompeii’s demise - they all tell such gripping tales. As for the Cossacks’ letter to the Sultan, just how rude was it?? #vss365

Мир искусства or World of #art an artistic movement, described as Russia’s pre-Raphaelites i.e. they rejected industrialisation & modernism. As #Kustodiyev’s painting shows that they were a boys club with #Bakst, #Roerich but Anna Ostroumova-Lebedeva bucked that trend #vss365

Today toddled to @tate Britain for the wonderful #PaulaRego exhibition - powerful, thought provoking art

Scottish emigration, 1800 - 1950, was not voluntary. Oppressive policies, clearances, plantation etc forced individuals & whole communities to bid #farewell. However, Scots carry their strong culture & sense history wherever they go. Hence many Kansan Gilmours are cousins #vss365

Great art collection, copies from the infamous Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum ‘heist’?
No, I bought them from a bloke in a Boston pub.
Did you check that he had #permission to sell? Should I have? Who are you calling?
The FBI, the reward is $10M!
Some pal you are!!! #vss365
