National Gallery.
I’m behind on blogs yet again. My excuse is that I started my new job this week and it’s all been rather full on.
Anyway just over a week ago I had a lovely few hours at the National Gallery. I was primarily there for the Monet & Architecture exhibition. I’ve been a Monet fan for many years now. Yes I was the student who had a Monet poster in my room at college. I think sometimes it feels as if Monet is everywhere and that we’ve seen them all but standing in front of the actual paintings never fails to remind me why he was the master of colour and light. The exhibition was packed but I still enjoyed it and although many of the works are well known I was so happy to see a few from private collections that I had never seen before. An lovely exhibition.
I then had a wander around a Degas display and spent some time in the main collection. I’m ashamed to say I haven’t just wandered in years. There are such gems!
I finished my art moment with a look at the new 4th plinth work. It’s beautiful and poignant. The work by Michael Rakowitz is a recreation of the Lamassu. This winged bull and protective deity guarded the entrance to Nergal Gate of Nineveh (near modern day Mosul) from c700 BC until it was destroyed by Daesh in 2015. So much history has been lost and continues to be lost. I really must make time to wander in the National Gallery again soon.

4th plinth. The new 4th plinth sculpture in Trafalgar Square has arrived and it's by one of our favourite artists, David Shrigley. Simply titled "Really good", it made me really smile when I nipped along to see it after work yesterday. Well done Mr Shrigley! We already have our very own 4th plinth in the shape of a limited edition version of the sculpture which I purchased at work. Rest assured it's making us smile! We have fond memories of going to David Shrigley's exhibition at the Southbank a few years ago. Just the thought of his rich tea biscuit nailed to the wall still lifts our spirits.
