AMERICAN SCENE @ THE BRITISH MUSEUM

A must see exhibition for anyone who likes printmaking. (and it's free !)

I love this described as "cubo-futurist" style print.

Here's an Edward Hopper etching - I never know he did printmaking. Also there's an early Pollock that's about as far from his action paintings as possible - worth seeing alone. It just goes to show we all have different styles in us.

My obsession with old style show fronts continues :-
Not to give too much away but I was at the umbrella shop to purchase my fancy dress outfit for Bestival (festival on the isle of Wright) this weekend - the theme is 10,000 freaks under the sea. Pictures to come. I also went and stock piled up on Polaroid film as it is going out of production at the end of this year - so get out and buy some now while you still can !
