From The Bus
+ click
A bus trip to Eastbourne and back to see The Dark Monarch exhibition at the Towner Gallery. I remember now a small Samuel Palmer, a couple of smaller Sutherland etchings, a good Paul Nash canvas, two Eric Ravilious watercolour/pencil pieces, a Michael Ayrton portrait of John Minton, a Bryan Wynter of Zennor Cove, a painting of three women hikers from the 1930s (James Walker Tucker), and the great Dadd “The Fairy Feller’s Masterstroke”. There’s a tedious Hirst unicorn in a room of its own so easily avoided…. and on the ground floor a short interesting Derek Jarman film. From the permanent collections I remember two Christopher Woods, a Gaudier-Brzeska drawing and a row of Ravilious’ lithographs.
