Ars gratia artis
A parliamentary question has unveiled Lord Mandelson's taste in free art, so in the great tradition of previous posts on the Government Art Collection, the time has come to make mock:
Painting: Queen Elizabeth 1 (1563-1603) Reigned—Anon British artist
No, I am NOT making that joke.
And this:
Untitled Red—Lewin Bassingthwaite
To remind him how far he's come now that he is a titled pinkish red, maybe?
Circus Folk—David Bomberg
Thinking of any folk in particular, Peter? Note for fellow coulrophobes, the painting is a safe click.
Still life with fish - Mary Fedden
To remind him of Hartlepool, maybe?
The Angels of Boulogne - Chris Orr
Well, there can't be any angels resident in Brussels, can there?
There are others, but they are on the dull side, name-wise.
