Sun 9th Jan: Gauguin - Maker of Myth







Its the final week to see Gauguin at The Tate Modern ............ we found out that its open till 10pm on a Sunday?! So get down to the river this evening before another week starts and its too late................
I have a feeling the collections at LFW next month may have some colour palettes influenced by the beautiful hues of his paintings. Its not just all about the iconic Haitian ladies though. There are early wood block prints and wood sculptures. Here is his wooden paint box which i fell in love with for its carving detail ......... infact most of the paintings are in beautiful chunky frames which is really refreshing to the regular gold gilt. Some of them are from private collections ........ really wish I had one of these on my walls............ but my Tretchikoff will do for now!
