Meet Mikei Hall, our Senior Art Handler at Tate! 📦

We caught up with Mikei and asked him about his work on Alvaro Barrington’s current Tate Britain installation, GRACE. Barrington’s work draws inspiration from personal memories, spanning time and place – from the sound of a thunderstorm pounding on the corrugated tin roof of his grandmother’s Caribbean home, to the vibrant energy of Carnival.

See Alvaro Barrington: GRACE at Tate Britain today, open until 26 January 2025. Entry is free, no ticket needed. 🎨 🌈 🎶 https://t.co/F3hApVm2vC

One for the Shakespeare buffs 🎭 📜 🎨

This painting by John Everett Millais is of Mariana, a character from Shakespeare’s play Measure for Measure. The story goes that Mariana’s fiancé Angelo leaves after her family’s money is lost in a shipwreck. Still in love with him, she hopes they will be reunited.

Millais shows Mariana pausing to stretch her back after working at some embroidery, with the autumn leaves scattered on the ground marking the passage of time. The stained-glass windows in front of her show the Annunciation, contrasting the Virgin's fulfilment with Mariana's frustration and longing. Millais copied the scene from the window of the Chapel of Merton College, Oxford.

The painting was originally exhibited with lines from Alfred Tennyson’s poem ‘Mariana’, which was also inspired by the play. "She only said, 'My life is dreary – He cometh not!’ she said; She said, 'I am aweary, aweary – I would that I were dead!'"

Painting is the most marvellous activity humans have invented’ – Frank Auerbach

We are deeply saddened to hear that Frank Auerbach has died. Auerbach’s paintings have been described as some of the most resonant, inventive and perpetually alive works of art of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Since his early works, his intentions have been consistent: ‘To record the life that seemed to me to be passionate and exciting and disappearing all the time’.

William Hogarth was born on this day in 1697 ✏️

The English painter, engraver and cartoonist is best known for his satirical, moralising engravings which tell stories of the moral decline of the characters.

In this print 'Gin Lane', Hogarth shows his dramatic vision of the consequences of gin drinking. Cheap gin was a problem in London’s poorer districts at the time. Unregulated and very strong, it was also often mixed with dangerous substances like turpentine.

The detailed engraving shows a scene of violence, neglect, disease and death and was produced in support of the Gin Act of 1751 which significantly reduced the number of gin shops. The print was contrasted with another print by Hogarth called 'Beer Street', which is a thriving scene showing the benefits of drinking beer.
