Crossing the Millennium bridge to get to the Tate is always a joy, great views of the river, St Paul's and Tate Modern.
On the bridge these little pieces caught my eye. . . everyone was looking out for them.
Graffiti art in miniature!
He's actually painting onto chewing gum and therefore not painting the bridge - neat way to go - and I'd say definitely not vandalism but an improvement.
Not the most prepossessing of entrances but Tate Modern is a fantastic space for exhibitions, we're here to see the Klee.
It's a comprehensive exhibition, and as well as the usual suspects there is a large selection of less familiar works - it's just tremendous and I'd highly recommend a visit, but there isn't long. Sunday 9th March is the last day.
Lyrical mark making and deftness of touch . . . my most favourite piece in the show.
View from our lunch table
. . . lunch (ah-hem not exactly healthy eating)
Back home and perusing my stash of goodies, the compulsory book and postcards.
The exhibition called this technique oil-transfer drawing.
Initial stages, and next week I'll work further into these two.
Not the first time I've allowed myself to be influenced by Klee's work.
I made a series of water colour mono-prints using Paul Klee's The Goldfish, as my reference source in the early 90's
Ooh! Thank you for this.Klee is one of my "biggies" too. Also interesting to see the chewing gum artist.
