colin gill ... and an impulse purchase in the bookshop at the sir john soane museum ...
i bought this book six or seven years ago as a present for the loved one
the subject suggested interesting possibilities
i'd never seen, as far as i can recall, any painting by colin gill
i'm impressed by his war paintings
and i like the book's cover painting, "allegory", very much
to categorize paintings as "decorative" shouldn't be to trivialize the artist or the picture, innit
after all, i've said before that i think artists have a duty to bear witness to beauty
just the other day, i found this interview with paul liss, the man who successfully bid for "allegory" at auction ... and then had to borrow some cash to pay for it
