Bathing Machines, Eric Ravilious, 1938. This is one of a series depicting Aldeburgh beach in #Suffolk. The original artwork is in the collection of @TownerGallery. (The Hen is a vending machine!)
Loved hearing James Tomlinson on the Relatively Famous podcast! 🎙️
He shares wonderful stories about his father, David Tomlinson, their family’s time with Walt Disney, and republication of David’s autobiography, Luckier Than Most. 📚✨

In 1957 Hockney stopped off in Kirton, Suffolk for a summer holiday; this picture shows the High Street. There's no plaque marking this association. A few years ago, when I enquired why, the reply was that few people knew about it! Hockney rather enjoyed that when I told him.

11 June 2026. David Hockney died (aged 88). He was one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century. In 2018, Hockney’s 1972 work Portrait of an Artist sold at Christie’s in New York City for £70M becoming the most expensive painting by a living artist.

I’m happy / sad
Shocked to hear David Hockney has died. His huge achievement was to make serious painting look effortless. He carried forward one of the most sustained investigations into vision, space and representation by any post-war artist. British art has lost a giant.
Sorry to hear of the death of the artist David Hockney. His self-portrait, aged 17 in 1954, hangs in the David Hockney Gallery at Cartwright Hall, Bradford, one of Yorkshire's less-well known galleries, but a gem.
Is this book a village romance or a murder story? It's both, and a lot darker than you might expect. Consider the Lilies by Elizabeth Cadell clothesinbooks.blogspot.com/…
Rex Whistler's portrait of the soldier Charles Paget, 6th Marquess of Anglesey, painted in 1942, displays his sensitivity and feel for innate elegance; a resonant record of an England displaced.

It is rare that watercolours by my grandfather come up for auction, but this double-sided work is coming up for sale at @bonhams1793 on the 24th June. Eric painted this on his Welsh trip in 1938, when he also painted the V&A's 'Farmhouse Bedroom'. #ericravilious#watercolour
