Imagine if shortly after Mark Rothko's death, someone who thought they knew better decided to destroy his iconic paintings. When Australian artist Clarice Beckett died at 48 years of age in 1935, her father burnt a number of her paintings — works that the Art Gallery of South Australia's curator of Australian art Tracey Lock describes as "Rothko-like". "I think he really didn't understand the way she painted and what she did," says Lock. "She was going completely against the general grain of

This is how I became a toy designer. In 1966 my design company was creating the packaging for YARDLEY and helping to change that company's image. With the sudden popularity of the BEATLES and the whole British Invasion as it was called, YARDLEY decided to reinvent itself. Overnight it went from being a little old ladies' soap company to the most MOD most HIP young cosmetic company -- setting the cosmetic industry on its ear with the LONDON LOOK. In 1967, I created this Christmas gift set wrapping paper for the "Oh! de London" fragrance line. As chance would have it, the marketing director of HASBRO toys saw this design and hired my design firm to "style" a new doll line called THE WORLD OF LOVE. My job was to create the look of the characters - LOVE, SOUL, PEACE, FLOWER, and ADAM as well as their fashions and packaging. The line was quite successful and I soon found myself designing other lines for HASBRO as well as dozens of other toy companies.

I've gotten so caught up in the duties of motherhood and raising kids that I've almost forgotten how to have fun. I need the laughter and joy, too.

Twinkle was a popular British girl's comic of the 1970s and 1980s. From about 1974 to 1976 I read it avidly, and these comics are from my own collection!

“The exhibition of the season… Immaculate, highly detailed and luminously beautiful.” The Times Bringing together more than 80 paintings by an almost forgotten generation of artists, this exhibition explores the realist tradition in British art between the two World Wars. It focuses on scrupulously detailed realist painting, part of a world-wide trend at the time. “Enthralling… This ambitious and timely exhibition does more than pull out the unexpected. It recovers realism’s distinct and relevant voice in a short period of rapid change.” ★★★★ The Guardian When abstract art became fashionable after the Second World War, these artists became side-lined and largely forgotten. Many artists of the period opted for a new kind of hard-edged, sharp-focussed realist painting, and found new subjects in modern life. This exhibition, showing only in Edinburgh, includes some 80 paintings, of astonishing technical accomplishment and stunning beauty, by more than fifty artists - including Gerald Leslie Brockhurst, Meredith Frampton, Laura Knight, James Cowie and Winifred Knights. Borrowed from public and private collections throughout Britain, this is a unique chance to rediscover a remarkable, but little known period in British Art. “This show is full of beautiful things... It is a delight to see them back in their place.” ★★★★★ The Scotsman Part of the Edinburgh Art Festival 2017. Image: Harold Williamson, Spray, 1939 © Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum.
