[Leica] IMG: Art in London

[Peter Dzwig]

BTW the NPG underwent a complete overhaul last year and into this. Like 
Jayanand, I prefer the Tate to Tate Modern; but above all I love the 
National Gallery and The Courtauld (which is one of the most undersung 
collections in London).

Thanks for showing,

Peter

I was there to participate in a workshop at London Metropolitan University, but as always, I made time to enjoy the great city and to see some art. I visited two of my favourite places, Tate Modern and the National Portrait Gallery. Both were great, but especially the exhibition at the NPG was incredible. It was called “The Time is Always Now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure”. As the title suggests, it consisted of works by Black artists, mainly UK and US-based, but also many with African and Caribbean backgrounds. Some of the works were truly incredible and eye-opening, for example the charcoal drawings by Barbara Walker, reproducing famous paintings in which Black characters had a secondary role, but now inverting the roles by emphasising them. A gallery of 52 images is here:
