Art Gallery of NSW: Prizes, 2019
I always love their banners! A perfect use for this symmetrical, neo-classical facade.

A number of houses in Berkeley feature columns at the facade, a style popular in the 19-teens when many were built near the UC Berkeley campus. Originally, many housed professors and their families, but later were turned into apartments for off-campus student housing (privately owned and operated, as now).
A quick visit to Santa Fe's Corwith Yard was always a fun time before the onslaught of the Orange GEs. B23-7 6406 and GP50 3851 were perfectly positioned to show off that classic yellowbonnet paint scheme.
The first guitar I ever picked up- my mother’s classical guitar. It’s not fancy, and it’s not expensive, but it’s incredibly sentimental. I love the sound of a classical guitar now and then!

Nel 1986 l’artista sovietico Il’ja Glazunov, durante il periodo riformatore della perestrojka, è riuscito a far rivivere la gloriosa Accademia di Belle Arti di Mosca che tanto seguito aveva avuto nel corso dell’Ottocento e nel periodo delle avanguardie russe degli anni venti del Novecento. Vi ebbero influenza e vi furono ospiti artisti come Lentulov, Konchalovsky, Mashkov, Rodchenko, come anche Malevich e Kandinsky.
Fondamentalmente legata alla tradizione pittorica dei grandi modelli della pittura e della scultura classica, in primis italiana, o alle rievocazioni storiche e religiose del folclore e del sentimento popolare russo, l’Accademia a metà negli anni ’20 fu fusa con altre istituzioni più tecniche che artistiche per volere dello stesso Lenin, in nome di un certo disprezzo per la pittura antica e i modelli classici a favore del cosiddetto “realismo socialista” che voleva avvicinare l’arte alle classi proletarie in chiave di propaganda politica. Oggi, scomparso il suo rifondatore, Il’ja Glazunov, questa particolarissima Accademia è retta dal figlio Ivan Glazunov, artista di grande rilievo, in nome di un ritorno a quei temi cari alla cultura del popolo russo, alla sua letteratura, alla sua musica, al suo teatro e al suo più antico mondo poetico ovvero lo sguardo alla storia nazionale, al sentimento e alla tradizione religiosa popolare e alla mitologia del popolo russo insieme ai suoi paesaggi e visioni architettoniche.
In 1986 the Soviet artist Il'ja Glazunov, during the reform period of perestroika, managed to revive the glorious Moscow Academy of Fine Arts that had been so popular during the nineteenth century and the Russian avant-garde period of the 1920s. There was an influence and artists such as Lentulov, Konchalovsky, Mashkov, Rodchenko, as well as Malevich and Kandinsky were guests.
Basically linked to the pictorial tradition of the great models of classical painting and sculpture, primarily Italian, or to the historical and religious re-enactments of Russian folklore and popular sentiment, the Academy in the mid 1920s was merged with other institutions more technical than artistic at the behest of Lenin himself, in the name of a certain contempt for ancient painting and classical models in favour of the so-called "socialist realism" which wanted to bring art closer to the proletarian classes in terms of political propaganda. Today, after the death of its re-founder, Il'ja Glazunov, this very particular Academy is run by his son Ivan Glazunov, an artist of great importance, in the name of a return to those themes dear to the culture of the Russian people, its literature, its music, its theatre and its most ancient poetic world, i.e. the look at national history, popular religious sentiment and tradition and the mythology of the Russian people together with its landscapes and architectural visions.
Most people regard redundant gasometers as eyesores that should be demolished as quickly as possible.....and to be honest, I can't honestly put up much of an argument against with this soon to be demolished example from Weymouth. However, they have always been a source of fascination ever since I was a child. As an adult I watched many televised cricket Test Matches from the Oval in London, with the adjacent gas holder looming behind the ground. Get them whilst you can. They are disappearing fast.
