Art for our sake: six
A little break since edition five. Sorry 'bout that but been doing some art appreciation at Tate Modern, Tate Britain, and the Mall Gallery among others. Always so much to see in London and never enough time to see it all. At Tate Modern I met some lovely people too, from the UK, Europe and around the world, many from various US states. One family were visiting London from Washington D.C., reminding me of a wonderful but brief visit to the National Gallery Of Art some 30 years ago. There I also had a chance to take a look around the National Museum of Women in the Arts, then still in its early days. The featured image is of a portrait by the American impressionist Lilla Cabot Perry. A picture that is forever etched in my memory as I bought a poster copy which kept me company on the wall of my home business office for a number of years.
