                             "Matisse Made some Great Patterns for Duvet Covers-2" 13 April 2014
Blockbuster  Exhibition "Matisse made some Great Patterns for Duvet Covers"  at Tate Modern. Have a look at the merchandise once you are through the exhibition. Cushion covers that are supposedly inspired by the Frenchman's cut outs that actually look like they were inspired by the Bauhaus fabric department. Do also have a look at some ceramics that are on offer...again...allegedly inspired by the great mans scissor techniques........erm.....!!!!! Finally take a peek at cufflinks..........charmed into existence by the patterns and colours of the man who took seventeen years to perfect the art of cutting paper shapes...and most often organic...flowing...autistic art nouveau forms.....erm.....these are stripes. 

The show itself..............well............moments and hints of intense beauty amongst the mountains of pillowcases and duvet covers.

 erm...I forgot to add..."Mad Men" ripped off the Matisse "falling figure" for their intro graphics sequence.

 Can't wait for the Malevich Show.

Here is his speech. I’m Timothy Snyder, I’m historian and I’ve been asked to speak to you about the significance of a Ukrainian victory. We’re all thinking about victory or at least the end of the war as we get into May. What I’m about to speak to you about is the significance of this war and how this war might end or how this war must end. The  first perhaps  the most fundamental is that Ukraine’s victory, I believe, is the only way to achieve peace. Presumably all same people would like for this war to come
