Sad to learn that wonderful #WW2 resistance fighter #WandaTraczykStawska died yesterday, aged 99. My friend @mariannabukowski.bsky.social was watching cinefilm fm the #WarsawUprising when she saw her friend Wanda, serving gun in hand. The result was her beautiful biopic #portraitofasoldier ... 1/2

'Dilapidation,' the Scottish painter Joan Eardley once said 'is often more interesting to a painter, as is anything that has been used and lived with.' This work, 'The Fireplace at Number One, Catterline,' was painted in 1955.
