Blaue Reiter expressionism exhibition interesting but unpersuasive that it was a great movement - but makes you wonder where the energy in European art and culture would have got to without the great disruptive of the 1WW - European development and confidence never recovered

Some 4,500 years ago, a child was buried at Tarkhan, #Egypt, with a simple #ball made of linen rolled into a ball and tied together with a string. It was certainly a much-loved #toy, which the child was also supposed to play with in the afterlife. 📷Bristol Museum & Art Gallery

The famous opera “The Barber of Seville” by Gioachino Rossini. The way director Chuck Jones synchronizes the slapstick action to the soundtrack is flat-out masterful.

some pointed truth in this.But a risk not a necessary outcome - any significant work if actually read will have multiple meanings and inspire multiple reactions (the nature of language). The groupthink comes when books aren’t read and a popular shorthand stands in for the book

i like small museums and small galleries, they give cultural space to the particular and the local and the otherwise forgotten

another fallen angel - wildly successful public art because everyone stops and looks and is “engaged” by them - partly because of their very ordinariness, less Miltonian fallen angels than a mirror of us, caught and tumbled up into a Last Judgement, damnation mid-shop

This lovely Hellenistic mosaic glass bowl looks so modern, yet it was made over 2,000 years ago! Ancient glassmakers created the tiny flower pattern using a technique now known as ‘millefiori’ (thousand flowers). A timeless design still made by glassmakers today! Photo my own.

What always astounds me about the (admittedly small sample of) surviving wooden idols from prehistoric Britain is that they seem to remain basically unchanged in form between the Neolithic and the Iron Age - this one middle Iron Age

I was introduced to the extraordinary Kingsteignton Figure last night. Carved from oak, he dates to between 426 and 352BCE. Found in 1867 in waterlogged ground near a river to the south of Exeter. #FindsFriday
