Anglo-American

Visited Tate Britain briefly for the first time in many years, which seemed much improved. I only scratched the surface of the superb quality on free display which was pretty much all English artists. There was also a room gifted by Rothko of his 1958 commission or the Seagram Building in Manhattan, due to his admiration for J W Turner.

One benefit of covid has been the pre-ticketing time slots in many art galleries, to restrict the numbers of people inside at one time; much better viewing.

Really good to see many varied  J W Turner paintings that weren't of sea or train scenes, and ad hoc paintings of artists unfamiliar to me.
Extras:
1. John Craxton 1946 - Hotel by the Sea. A mixture of styles.
2. Collage:
*Turner 1830 - Interior of a Great House - East Cowes Castle (unfinished);
*Turner  1806 - The.. Garden of Hesperides (there's a dragon on top of the cliff)
*Paul Nash 1941- Totes Mere (Dead Sea). Based on a wrecked aircraft dump, it looks like a range of hills at first glance.
* Edward Wadsworth 1940  - Bronze ballet - (tempera on plywood)
