So where's the point?
Article Abstract:
The National Gallery in London, England, is currently holding an exhibition entitled 'Seurat and the Bathers.' This shows almost all Georges Seurat's painted and drawn sketches for his work 'Bathers at Asnieres,' and also presents a considerable amount of his other early work. 'Bathers at Asnieres,' which was completed in 1884, seems to have the self-confidence of an inexperienced artist. It tries to bring together all the main trends of French painting of the period, and seems to do this successfully, despite the apparent lack of direction in the sketches.

It's got to go
Article Abstract:
Maggi Hambling's monument to Oscar Wilde in London, England, does not do justice to Wilde's legacy. Indeed, it can be regarded as a complete disaster. It is a playful piece, and only presents Wilde as an irrepressible talker. There is no hint of Wilde's glory or nerve, and nothing about Wilde which can be taken into future generations. The monument also seems to be of very poor quality, with the bust and hand not even being solid metal.
