(Drivebycuriosity) - My wife and I stayed in Vauxhall, the first
part of our long London visit. The place is relatively close to the Tate Britain where admission is free. That inspired us to visit the museum more times. Besides their Van Gogh show we explored their regular collection which is
displayed in chronological order, each room contains a certain
historical period, beginning in the mid-sixteens century. I blogged
already about their collection through the end of the 19th century (driveby
). Here I present
my favorites from the 20th century, a small and very subjective selection as usual.
Above you can see some paintings from the dawn of the 20th century: John Singer Sargent`s "The Black Brook" from c.1908, Walter Richard Sickert`s "Miss Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies as Isabella of France" from 1932, Mark Gertler`s "Merry-Go-Round" from 1916 & Duncan Grant`s "Bathing" from 1911.
