I love Richard Smith art

Interesting to know what's gonna happen to it, I was wondering for a while, just didn't find this video until now

i've certainly enjoyed this 'little bit of art appreciation'! There seems so much more of lasting interest in landscape painting such as the Paul Nash and Roy Bizley, than with the record of someone's experience of a walk. However, the creation of an installation from natural materials in the landscape, opens up great possibilities After all what could be more moving than Stonehenge? Hm. But those materials are not natural to that landscape!

I don't know the work of John Ferguson either but this strikes a strong note of reference to Cezannes still life subject matter and treatment, I mean the white draped cloth, the prominent presence of table edge, the tipped up perspective of plate and grouping of apples, etc. In short, a homage to Cezanne? I didn't know the work of Gardiner either, and didn't know oil pastels were used much at that date - Thank you for both introductions. Those Hilton colours are so redolent of the period, sort of all embracing neutrals. Not for me!

Thank you for sharing these, the reader has such a lovely voice. It was a pleasure learning something new. Greetings from a Polish girl studying in France :)

I love that Two Walks piece.

listening to this from Australia

Lovely to see these and know that they are in Swindon! I much enjoyed your comments and being reminded that they broke down the boundaries between fine art, craft and decorative art. Simon and I visited Charleston last year and were struck by how much GREY Vanessa used, to such good effect! Much to learn...Thank you

I have to say I love the lithographs the best.I find them so atmospheric. Thank you Katie.

Thank you. Really interesting. I never make it to talks at The Museum, so this is great!

Thank you Katie for this.

That Richard Hamilton Interiors one is one of my favourites. I love that.

Brilliant and informative talk thank you Katie, really enjoyed this episode and will now listen to the others.

Wonderful

Amazing. Two paintings there I’m pretty sure I’ve not seen before. This is such a wonderful initiative,

These podcasts are wonderful. I’ve come in with this one. I’ll do the rest now. I love this Leslie Cole work, it’s very affecting. I wrote about Cole and this painting in #secretswindon - him having come to my attention as I was writing that book. Well done on these Katie.

Another interesting thing about the Bomford gift is 'what might have been'. Looking through Francis Bacon's catalogue raisonné I discovered that several of the painter's major works were owned by Bomford and on loan for a while at Swindon Museum.

When I was studying at Essex University in the mid-80s I lived around the corner from Dickie and Dennis whose house in Wivenhoe overlooked the River Colne, and landscapes very similar to this painting. Their drunken antics with Francis Bacon around Wivenhoe, where Bacon also owned a house for a couple of years, was the stuff of legends.

I love having drawings dissected for me! So interesting - thank you!

This was so interesting Katie! Thanks so much.

THANK YOU

Thank you so much. I have been around the museum a couple of times but having your descriptions with the paintings makes so much difference.

Katie, thank you so much for that great art snap. A great escape from these troubled times. Looking forward to listening to all of them.

Thank you Katie; looking forward to the other Art Snaps.
