A Walk Through British Art (Part 4: Faves & Raves)

Greetings artsters!

Here are a few of the paintings I've been talking about in the past few blogs. You can see these (and hundreds more) at BP's Walk Through British Art exhibition at Tate Britain. You'll need plenty of stamina, and some tough walking boots. Worth it though, despite some hangable choices. If you know what I mean.






Girls Running on Pier, Philip Wilson Steer, c1888






The Gleaning Field, Samuel Palmer 1833






Reclining Figure, Henry Moore, 1967






The Fall of London, James Boswell, 1933 
(from a set of drawings that are oddly prescient of the Blitz)







Titania & Bottom, Henry Fuseli, c1790






Autumn Composition, Flowers on a Table, Ivon Hitchens, 1933






Lady Charlotte Hill, Sir Joshua Reynolds, 1782






Countess of Kildare, Sir Peter Lely, 1632
