Kees van Dongen (1877-1968) is one of the great Dutch Fauvist painters, famous for his flamboyant portraits, violent colours and his role in the artistic Paris of the early 20th century.

Tony Blair is possibly the only person on earth that makes people instantly reach for the dislike button whilst secretly knowing deep inside that he’s absolutely right and no one has come anywhere near his level of seriousness since.

Laura Knight was a fascinating painter of whatever interested her. This is ‘Ruby Loftus Screwing a Breech-ring’ from 1943

I love paintings of stations. Who would have thought that the great Camille Pissarro would have painted this? ‘Lordship Lane Station, Dulwich’ 1871. Sadly the station no longer exists. Lovely painting though

@olgatuleninova This is touching to see. My parents were Welsh (so am I of course) and were both artists, taught by Ceri Richards at Cardiff School of Art in the early 1940s. They admired him so much I can thank him for my middle name … Peter Ceri Walters, and so can my son Matthew Ceri…

[Peter Walters @peterwalt7]

He was a war artist too though - London Hospital 1914

@ahistoryinart @MaxPriviero Thank you. I love Lavery’s languid other-worldly paintings. This is Summertime, 1904

@gaskell_mike I had a suspected TIA (it was all a bit opaque) 25 years ago and nothing since - so keep on jogging, with 75 mg aspirin a day 😃

[Richard Morris @ahistoryinart]

In 1884, when he was working at Fontainebleau, John Lavery painted an unknown woman resting in a hammock slung between trees close to a river. That sense of dolce far niente, of beautiful youth and summer's luxuriance remained with him for the rest of his life. This is from 1904
