The post-second world war rebuilding of Coventry Cathedral prompted the commissioning of many contemporary artists. A pro would spend hours repairing each fiber, but you are a super DIYer making a great fix that will work well enough…and no one will know but you.
The culture clash that underpinned Cranach’s art – German courtly splendour and strait-laced religious reformation – powers a magnetic imagining of Jewish heroine Judith displaying the head of Assyrian general Holofernes. Hepworth talked of looking at the moon and sun through the holes that pierced her sculptures; explorations of inner and outer space. Should she sit politely with retiring feminine music, or head for the unknown with that dynamic gesticulating upstart, painting? Chadwick created her flowers while on a residency in Canada in the 1990s, by making mounds of snow, shaping them into flowers, then urinating on them with her partner to wear down the snow into valleys around a central hole.This means they will be re-adhered to the canvas as a protective measure, using careful conservation techniques. He has dressed his warrior in a composite of antique armour that seems to swamp him, just as thoughts of imminent future bloodshed surely must. If there is a gap where the tear is, as I had here, then it can be visible if the gap isn’t filled completely.

The enthroned figure is stuck in a limbo between palace and prison: there are traces of gothic vaulting that suggest the Sistine Chapel yet he is isolated inside a glass booth.Keeler’s seat is now a design classic itself, and Hamilton, too, uses her legs to display contemporary fetishes.
The work of one of Britain’s most radical artist refugees, it was excavated in 1965 from Schwitters’s Merz Barn in Cumbria. Linder’s collage on the Buzzcocks’ 1977 single Orgasm Addict, a nude with a clothes iron head and lipstick mouths in place of nipples, took a knife to housewife/pinup stereotypes. Uccello has fun with Renaissance perspective with its central vanishing point, creating a deep woodland space. Hanging in pride of place in the Courtauld galleries – home to one of the most significant collections of impressionist art in the world – Manet’s painting thrillingly breaks free of any sense of overfamiliarity to project the vibrancy and the complexity of a new world.
These are the musings of a perfect afternoon: Hockney sees his lover as a natural form among stylised patterns of delight. Landseer’s bloodthirsty depiction of the Earl of Aberdeen’s hounds is an attempt to glorify its subject as worthy of a history painting: a battle’s dramatic conclusion. They were commissioned by Francis Crawshay, a man with his own artistic ambitions who had been put in charge of his father’s ironworks.
