It must be wonderful to have the opportunity of looking at all those Pre-Raphaelite works right in front of you. Miranda Mills has shown some of it in one of her videos. Good exhibitions are had to come by in this city, so I've indulging my craving for art and really anything intellectual with a film festival of history of art documentaries. So far far we've had Caravaggio and Michelangelo. Next is Gustav Klimt. And yesterday I go to go to a candlelight concert with musicians playing the theme songs for Lord of the Rings (though the candles were electrical for safety). I'm not a big fan of Virginia Woolf but some of what you said about her book and characters resonates with me. Some of my closest friends don't even know what I really do.
We are very lucky to have so many of these works. Birmingham, the city where I live, has a large collection of preraphaelite art too but it’s closed until next year for renovation. The history of art documentaries sound wonderful. There is a film about the National Gallery in London that’s quite interesting if you haven’t seen it already - it’s very contemplative. I think it’s called The National Gallery.
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I've found the documentary available on an 'alternative' streaming platform. Not sure if its working yet, but thank you for the recommendation.
I have always aspired to own WM wallpaper and I think someday I will. I spent June doing work for my MA coursework. Lots of researching, writing, editing, etc. But I am about to hit the official Pause button for the summer for a little breather. I hope you have a lot of fun things planned for your July.
The MA coursework sounds exciting! Hope you're enjoying it and have a lovely summer break. I'm hoping to see a few more exhibitions in London during July and have tickets for As You Like It at the RSC in Stratford which I'm looking forward to. Fingers crossed for some lovely weather.
