I agree (who wouldn't): absolutely phenomenal. And I don't recall them being at the Brit Museum show.<br />It was also a treat to see other items from the permanent collection: Cezanne, Degas, Lautrec, DurerAlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07417688609204610626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15786088.post-10158345085934103592010-03-11T14:58:00.292+00:002010-03-11T14:58:00.292+00:00Ash-well, we do have the Arnolfini, Science museum...Ash-well, we do have the Arnolfini, Science museum, SS Gt Britain, a fine art gallery in the museum & tons of graffiti on the streets!<br /><br />Uli-can you help me get the frame off it?<br /><br />Jarry-it reassured me that even the greatest draughtsman in history could not resist drawing a big cock & balls on his finest work!Matt Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691360081537045523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15786088.post-41405241195585064672010-03-10T22:25:02.071+00:002010-03-10T22:25:02.071+00:00“The Dream” by Michelangelo was very beautifully d...“The Dream” by Michelangelo was very beautifully drawn. Just to see him getting different textures and pencil strokes in such small paper space. And unexpectedly very, very rude. As I was starring at it from different angles at one point I got a vague impression as to what might have been originally drawn in one obscured section (and proved indecipherable in prints or scans). There was an engraving on the other wall which confirmed my naughty suspicion. Michelangelo had originally included, to mirror the large disembodied hand holding a sagging purse, an equally outsized disembodied hand doing something to a monumental organ more appropriate to the graffiti on a men’s lavatory wall. More surprising since in the rest of nude drawings collected here Michelangelo is no size queen.<br /><br />The Arshile Gorky exhibition at the Tate was fascinating and revelatory too, worth several hours staring.ukjarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12250028389206081742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15786088.post-63929019114409561792010-03-10T18:25:33.364+00:002010-03-10T18:25:33.364+00:00You took the sunflowers.
