Het Schip is een van de drie blokken arbeiderswoningen aan het Spaarndammerplantsoen in de Spaarndammerbuurt die zijn ontworpen door Michel de Klerk in de stijl van de Amsterdamse School. De blokken werden in de periode 1914-1921 gebouwd. De woningen werden verhuurd door woningcorporatie Eigen Haard en waren 'paleizen voor de arbeiders'. Niet eerder was er zoveel zorg besteed aan de vormgeving van arbeiderswoningen. Ook een postkantoor was onderdeel van het blok.
Nadat het postkantoor in 1999 werd gesloten, is hier sinds 2001 het Museum Het Schip gevestigd. Het museum bestaat uit het voormalige postkantoor, een museumwoning die een indruk geeft van hoe de arbeiders hier in de jaren 1920 woonden, en een museumruimte met informatie over de geschiedenis van het gebouw en de Amsterdamse School. In 2005 werd een lunchroom geopend in een voormalige winkel. Hier is ook een fototentoonstelling van gebouwen in de Amsterdamse School te zien.

Tivadar Csontváry Kosztka (1853 – 1919), the Hungarian painter loved by Picasso.
"Csontváry’s works were exhibited in Paris in 1948. Picasso spent an hour outside the exhibition’s regular opening hours viewing them, and after emerging, declared “I did not realize there was another great painter in this century aside from myself.”
Csontváry probably would have taken issue with Picasso’s proclamation, arguing that he was a more significant painter even than Raphael."
"On the hot sunny afternoon of 13 October 1880, when Csontvary was 27 years old, he had a mystic vision. He heard a voice saying, 'You will be the greatest Sunway Painter, greater than Raphael!' He took journeys around Europe, visited the galleries of the Vatican, and returned to Hungary to earn money for his journeys by working as an apothecary. From 1890, he traveled around the world. He visited Paris, the Mediterraneum (Dalmatia, Italy, Greece), North Africa and the Middle East (Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt, Syria) and painted pictures. Often his pictures are very large, several metres wide and height is not unusual."
"In recent decades, Tivadar Kosztka Csontváry has become a true national hero. After all, he has all the necessary attributes: he was only celebrated after his time, his canon of work is not only spectacular, but also unique, and his contemporaries in Hungarian society treated him as all future national heroes were: he was mocked and humiliated.
He painted his major works between 1901 and 1909. He had some exhibitions in Paris (1907) and Western Europe. Most of the critics in Western Europe recognized his abilities, art and congeniality, but in the Kingdom of Hungary during his life, he was considered to be an eccentric crank for several reasons, e. g. for his vegetarianism, anti-alcoholism, anti-smoking, pacifism, and his cloudy, prophetic writings and pamphlets about his life (Curriculum), genius (The Authority, The Genius) and religious philosophy (The Positivum). Some of his biographists considered this as a latent, but increasingly disruptive schizophrenia. Although he was later acclaimed, during his lifetime Csontváry found little understanding for his visionary, expressionistic style. A loner by nature, his “failure” impaired his creative power.
His art connects with post-impressionism and expressionism, but he was an autodidact and cannot be classified into one style. He identified as a "sunway"-painter, a term which he created.
The painter, after being derided for decades, ended up starving to death after the Soviet Republic took everything away from him.
He starved to death.
To give us an idea of how his life’s work was rated at the time, his heirs attempted to sell the paintings to delivery men as they were painted on high-quality canvas. Were it not for Gedeon Gerlóczy, who recognized Csontváry’s genius and bought them all up, there would be no paintings surviving to this day.
Today, a Csontváry is worth millions of Euros."

This was the first time I tried the random shooting into a stream of people [outside Oxford Street tube station at peak hour], but unlike the later variety [in Bristol - previously posted] where I shot from the chest, this/these were shot with camera to the eye; hence the level feels much more face-on.
