“I just found this site where you can see hundreds of different covers for War of the Worlds.
This one was my favorite, but I’d definitely recommend taking a look at
the site. It’s really amazing to see the range of styles artists used
to present the same book. Plus, you can really get a sense of the
different design trends over the past century.” (lifted from Becky’s blog)

walk over Hampstead Heath to Kenwood

wednesday 23 July

meet parliament hill cafe 10.45. The cafe is on the Parliamnet Hill Fields bit of Hampstead Heath between the bandstand and the Hampstead Heath staff yard.

View Google Map
the marker labelled “A” on the map shows the approximate location of the cafe

To get there you can take a London Overground train from Barking/Leytonstone to Gospel Oak or from Stratford/Hackney/Dalston to Gospel Oak then 5 minute walk.

Or 214 bus from Liverpool Street

Or tube to Kentish Town (Northern Line on Barnet branch) then 214 or C2 bus last 1 mile

Anyone that lets me know they are coming might well be waited for if they are late

Kenwood has a good cafe (sandwhich cost about £3.50, coffee £1.50) and great art -

Bologna has a gallery dedicated to Morandi that includes a reconstruction of his studio. And it’s full of all those old familiar bottles and he covered the window so the light is so subdued while outside you get this stunning Italian light. Maybe he should have moved to Manchester?

at the end of each posting it says something like

Posted in exhibition | no Comments

you just click on the “no comments” (or 1 comment or whatever) then fill in the form that appears.

The puzzling bit that says something like “please add 4 and 8″ is there to stop spam. You have to add the 2 numbers and enter them in the box (so in this case type in 12)

When you’ve written what you want in the comment box, then click the submit button.

Finally you will have to click the home button at top left to return to posts page

I’ve been looking for a book on Daumier for a while and have just come across a very good one by Bruce Laughton (published by Yale)  discounted at Judd books - £13.95 down from £50.   Judd Books is in Judd Street south of Kings Cross and has lots of art books
