RIP David Hockney, an inspirational artist and wonderful human being. Was a privilege to see Bigger and closer (not smaller and further away) at the Lightroom in 2023, to hear David’s perspective on nature, the world and his joy in painting. A true inspiration. #Hockney #art #DavidHockney #Lightroom

Great visit to the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. A gem of a gallery with some fantastic works of modern art. Thought provoking and inspiring in equal measure. Also a bit quieter and more serene than its other museum neighbours which was very welcome! #Stedelijk #Monet #Mondrian #Warhol #ModernArt

LA MAISON À TRAVERS LES ROSES painting by Claude Monet. An impressionist painting featuring a small cottage with rose bushes.

Composition number 4 in red, blue and yellow by Piet Mondrian. A painting on a white canvas with black lines and a red, blue and yellow square.
