the first painter i loved was bruegel ... tony may, the art master at malmesbury grammar school in the 1960s ... had ordered a copy of a small book published by skira for the new school's library ... i sat there with the pictures long and often, but doubt that i read a single word ... let's make a scrapbook of some bruegel paintings and drawings ... in chronological order ...

 ... we'll add dates and shuffle the pictures as we go along ...
