Seen at Tate Modern yesterday. I’m saving up to pay for a Standard Designs Service Elevator (maximum load 2000kg, no bouncing between floors please). #tatemodern #signage #sackler #escalator #public #patronage #patron #art #gallery #london (at Tate Modern)
Maybe the best thing in the Modigliani exhibition at Tate Modern is in the first room, this ‘Self-portrait as Pierrot’ from 1915. It’s underpainting-tastic. #modigliani #tate #tatemodern #exhibition #painting #portrait #selfportrait #1915 #painter #artist #art #london (at Tate Modern)

The line in this book cover by Edward Bawden is so wonderfully heavy, like a Tony Bevan painting. And coupled with the Albertus type, I’m finding it hard to draw my eyes away #dreamcombo #edwardbawden #linocut #bookcover #albertus #font #typeface #bertholdwolpe #wolpe #illustration #bookjacket #bookstagram #1950s

Always thought this Ladybird game ‘Strikebreaker’ was a bit iffy. (“You will need: 1. Plasticine, 2. A marble, 3.
