Last supper with the unknown girl.

I said my farewells, but promises made continue our little affair;


"Portrait of an unknown model (girl/women)" Modigliani. 1918

Modi had relocated to Paris at the time and was apparently subject
to a robbery along the way... penniless he had to work quickly and
painted the above portrait rather quickly, you can tell this from the
unusually rougher edges & more sketchy style of brush work..
I always thought this added to the quality of this particular painting,
the romance and the sheer beauty of the 'unknown girl' who is just
breathtaking in her nonchalant pose.
(also bearing an uncanny likeness to Jeanne Hebuterne, maybe that's
just me)

I also had chance to sneak some cheeky photographs of Grayson Perry's
wonderful vases he currently has exhibited;

Stunningly beautiful work indeed.

Now... tea cake time.
