Where's the orgy, then?

Article Abstract:

The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England, is currently exhibiting paintings by Victorian artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema. He specialised in extremely meticulous portrayals of life in ancient Greece and Rome, and was a very prolific artist. He was falling from popularity by the time of his death in 1912, but his work has recently gained new admirers. He chose subjects from everyday life, and it is this in particular which makes his paintings fascinating.

Scenes from a past life

Article Abstract:

The Royal Academy in London, England, is currently exhibiting a sequence of 780 gouache paintings by Charlotte Salomon. These were painted between 1940 and 1942, when Salomon was in her mid-20s. The paintings, most of which have a written text, tell the story of the artist and her family. Their emotional focus is the difficult and intense three-way relationship between Salmon as a teenager, her glamorous stepmother and her stepmother's singing teacher.
