Its looks very monumental but looking at the scale in the video it looks very small and tight, enclosed in own little world. They reminded me of the plaster cast of Parthenon that were scattered all around Camberwell when I was a student there and also of the paintings of Paolo Uccello although she doesn't mention them as influences.<BR/><BR/>I am so jealous at the moment, this is what I imagine I would be doing now, 10 yrs ago when I was harassed mother of 3. The thing that kept me going was the thought once they were older, I could spell my free time browsing the art galleries of Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow plus all the other wonderful galleries in the Highlands with the occaissional visit to the big Smoke. Instead I stuck in no where land for art where cowboys and bluebonnets run riot!pfffftAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833695853177988258.post-47692351488408645972009-04-10T11:28:00.000+01:002009-04-10T11:28:00.000+01:00It's interesting, isn't it, how little of the real...It's interesting, isn't it, how little of the reality of war actually gets on to our TV screens now, I'm sure it wasn't always so? (Or maybe that feeling's a function of my age!) <BR/><BR/>I'd heard of the tapestry but had no idea it had come to this country! I remember when I read about it thinking what an amazing challenge it must have been to make a tapestry out of such a complex painting.Lindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754920438238366088noreply@blogger.com
