(Things we're doing and stuff we like)

 
Posted by Irene Kopitov 04 Nov Atkinson Grimshaw at Guildhall

As London grew a little darker and rainier this week, we paid a visit to the beautiful exhibition of Atkinson Grimshaw’s evocative moonlit scenes at the Guildhall Art Gallery. We could not help but closely inspect and get lost in every detail of his incredible Victorian Era paintings capturing the suburban lanes, docks and gas-lit urban landscapes of nocturnal Leeds and London. Even Whistler admitted: “I considered myself the inventor of Nocturnes until I saw Grimmy’s moonlit pictures.” A moody and stunning show definitely worth a visit.
