Visions

 Today we begin with Marsh Meadows, Cookham, a 1943 painting by Stanley Spencer.


This is Mrs. R.J. Sainsbury, by Wyndham Lewis, dating 1940-41.


Evening, Hammersmith is a 1944 painting by Victor Pasmore


Richard Eurich painted Dunkirk Beaches, May 1940 in 1940-41.


Another war, another war artist. Paul Nash painted A Night Bombardment in 1919-20.


Another work by Nash: Void dates to 1918.


I leave off today with this 1949 mobile sculpture by Alexander Calder- Jacaranda. Tomorrow we close out this visit.

    War paintings, don't think I have seen too many of those. Nash must have seen some horrific scenes.

    I don't think any other artist made mobiles that are in museums the world-wide, than Calder. I just love them, though certainly don't bridge the enjoyable shapes with the intended meanings. They are simply wonderful.

    The Calder is wonderful. I don't visit Museums any more, I miss them.
    I visit the outdoor Garden ones.
