This little gallery has been described as "One of the most beautiful small galleries in Europe." It recently was featured on Restoration (BBC) and although much more popular these days than when I first visited it as a student back in 1977, it still needs considerable funds to ensure it remains there for posterity. G.F.Watts was one of the very great painter's of the Victorian era, his work likewise suffered an almost terminal decline in interest during the early to mid part of the twentieth century, but by 1960's there began a renewed interest in Victorian art and particularly that of The Pre Raphaelite painters. Watts however is hard to categorize, his paintings are somewhat like Leighton's but often without the grace of his output. Watts was given to his ambitious motto "The Utmost for the Highest" so similar the Pre Raphaelite aims he sought to use art to convey moral, spiritual and political truth in visual means. Clearly such an ambitious remit came about in the Victorian age which was one of great confidence, Although Watts was always somewhat removed from worldly concerned being considered an ascetic almost monk like character. Wilfred Blunt likened him to England's Michaelangelo, although stylistically his work is Venetian, and he more resembles Titian in his style (particularly his late work.) Watt Gallery covers the span of his career, some of the paintings are indeed of a very high caliber, whilst others are poor relations to those of his celebrated contemporaries. Watts career with our new century may once again enjoy a reappraisal and this small Arts and Crafts building designed by Christopher Turnor may yet do much to inspire people afresh. The galleries are hung with paintings in the Victorian manner, one modern curator's would consider overcrowded. However like Watts own work truths are eternal and the whims of fashion should not play a part when it comes to presenting great ideas, and Watts at his best in a late paintings such as "End of the Day" and "Sower of The Systems" shows him to be an artist to be reckoned with. It is known Picasso much admired some of Watts work and one can certainly see something of Watts in Picasso's Blue Period and Oscar Kokoshka's "Bride of the Winds" which is very similar to Watts' "Paolo and Francesca." Superheros: Fashion and Fantasy The symbolic and metaphorical associations between fashion and the superhero are explored in this exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Featuring movie costumes, avant-garde haute couture, and high-performance sportswear, it reveals how the superhero serves as the ultimate metaphor for fashion and its ability to empower and transform the human body. Objects are organized thematically around particular superheroes, whose movie costumes and superpowers are catalysts for the discussion of key concepts of superheroism and their expression in fashion.
