It's the Royal Academy of Art Young Artist's Summer Show. One of my favourite exhibitions of the year. Like. Not only are the older kids insanely talented, the younger ones' artist statements will just punch you right in the face.

Aolar Carson Mosely. "Log Cabin"—single block "Courthouse Steps" variation (local name: "Bricklayer"). Cotton, twill, cotton hopsacking, corduroy

from Souls Grown Deep: Aolar Mosely employed a device widely used in the Gee’s Bend quilting tradition: enlarging what is normally one of many blocks to create a quilt consisting of a single block. This technique can be traced to the earliest documented quilts in Gee’s Bend.

Gustave Caillebotte - The Floor Scrapers (1875-6)

Original on top, later version below

“Despite the effort Caillebotte put into the painting, it was rejected by France’s most prestigious art exhibition, The Salon, in 1875. The depiction of working-class people in their trade, not fully clothed, shocked the jurors and was deemed a ‘vulgar subject matter.’

The images of the floor scrapers came to be associated with Degas’s paintings of washerwomen, also presented at the same exhibition and similarly scorned as ‘vulgar’”.
