Rothko in Britain
50 years ago The Whitechapel Gallery hosted Mark Rothko’s first solo exhibition in Britain. The current exhibition, ‘Rothko in Britain’, displays photos of visitors from 1961 and their memoirs describing these groundbreaking abstract paintings. Rothkos large canvases, with luminous rectangles of colour, initiate powerful responses from visitors, both then and now; get yourselves along to see for yourselves!
The exhibition runs from 9th September 2011 – 26th February 2012.

Dahlia delights!
As I opened my shutters early the other morning I was reminded how much I love dahlias! I was struck by the elegance of the frost coated, crumpled flowers in the late autumn light. What a delight!
Sarah Raven stocks a wide range of dahlias and her website has a useful guide to planting dahlia tubers. In late summer they make an excellent cut flower, as shown in the last photograph.

Dear Photograph
We love this blog! The brainchild of Taylor Jones, this blog allows people to share a new photo of an old photo – holding up the old photo to visually align it to the same background in the modern day. Photos are submitted with a short message. The result is a fascinating selection of trips down memory lane…
