The Grey Cloak

British artist Richard Eurich painted Dunkirk Beaches, May 1940 from 1940-41, depicting the evacuation from Dunkirk in the Second World War that came back to haunt the Germans.


On Drumcliffe Strand is the title of this 1918 painting by Irish artist Jack B. Yeats.


Here we have Young Woman In A Grey Cloak, by Gwen John, done between 1920-24.


For today I finish off with this Adrian Stokes painting dating to 1920-21, titled In The Dunes. Tomorrow I bring this visit to a close.

    "The Dunes" is my fav. Otherwise I feel haunted... Kidding, a bit.

    Lots of folk speak highly of Gwen John's art, though I must admit I prefer the more vigorous style of her eccentric brother Augustus.

    Dunkirk figured prominently in Erik Larson's new book, "The Splended and the Vile."
