The kings and queens of England (and other mafiosi)

Article Abstract:

The Tate Gallery is currently staging an exhibition entitled 'Dynasties: Painting in Tudor and Jacobean England 1530-1630.' This includes work by some English painters, such as Sir Nathaniel Bacon and William Larkin, but focuses more on the work of foreign painters, including Van Dyck and Holbein. Paintings of Queen Elizabeth I fill an entire room, reflecting the fact that she used paintings as a propaganda tool.

Catch a shooting star

Article Abstract:

The Serpentine Gallery in London, England, is currently holding a retrospective exhibition of the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat, a half Haitian, half Puerto Rican painter who died in 1988 at the age of 27. This is the first public showing of his work in the UK for more than 10 years. It includes a range of alarming, ambiguous paintings, most of which can be interpreted as self-portraits.
