This young singer gave a sterling performance at the Sandbach Transport and Music Festival Day 1. She had the no nonsense, professionalism of the old time saloon singers and I chose this old style image to best display her.

Christie’s Catalogue Note:
“The sense of dramatic energy that pervades the best of Sargent’s work finds an explicit rendering in Marionettes, as Sargent presents a quartet of men operating these Sicilian rod puppets within a confined and dramatically lit interior. The shimmering golden palette he utilizes suggests the stifling heat permeating the space, also indicated by the shirtless torso of one of the operators. Indeed, the air feels thick with eager anticipation: although Sargent does not depict the remainder of the audience, a fifth figure watches intently from the stage wings. His clear engagement with the dramatic performance adds to the overall sense of excitement emanating from the scene. Sicilian puppeteers preferred romantic and bloody dramas, and the rendering of two dueling knights watched by a visibly distraught woman in black suggests the specific play the artist depicts here is based on the a 15th century Italian epic poem, Orlando Furioso.”

Today I visited the Imperial War Museum (especially floors 2 and 3.) John Singer Sargent's late masterpiece Gassed finished March 1919 . It depicts the aftermath of a mustard gas attack during the First World War, with a line of wounded soldiers walking towards a dressing station. Sargent was commissioned by the British War Memorials Committee to document the war and visited the Western Front in July 1918 spending time with the Guards Division near Arras. The painting is a harrowing scene depicting the ugliness of war and its victims, it references Pieter Bruegel the Elder's The Parable of the Blind leading the blind of 1568. If you are in London you should go and see this powerful work.
On a happier note I visited my friend Kate Wilson and her show "Total Rubbish." The paintings although depicting rubbish were very far from rubbish, but a powerful comment on what is often discarded or seen as waste. In some ways there is a sort of link with Sargent and the human detritus of war.

Gently swaying in a trade wind breeze,
Holding court along the shore.
This is my postcard from paradise,
Tropical dreams forever more.
