Little Gems

I love going to the art galleries in the towns as you never know what you will find. Normally, there are a lot of Victorian paintings, sub PRB, but then tucked away. Some thing sparks your interest. When I visited Brighton recently, the gallery there had an exhibition called Paintings Unwrapped, which was a compare and contrast of paintings from the collection. It used paintings that could be described as minor pieces and used then to co-ordinate the audience's eye to uncover new ideas. Points that might be lost.

This was a wonderful way to use these paintings that are likely to be hidden in the vaults somewhere waiting to come out for display. Some times the pictures were war time realsim compared to classical Victorian melodrama. Yet just going into their is some thing waiting to be discovered, it might not necessarily spark interest in you, but it might be some one else who is inspireed.
