  • Happy 83rd Birthday David Hockney. . . . David Hockney is considered one of the most celebrated British contemporary artists. Hockney studied at the Bradford School of Art (1953-7) and the Royal College of Art (1959-62) with R.B. Kitaj, Allen Jones and Derek Boshier. Graduating with a gold medal, he became a leading figure in Pop Art. His work embraces drawing, painting, printmaking, photography and stage design. His first retrospective was at the Whitechapel Gallery in 1970. In 1999 he began hundreds of portraits using camera lucida, on which he published research. In recent years, Hockney has divided his time between Los Angeles and London, and created work using the Brushes iPad app. Exhibitions of his portraits include David Hockney Portraits (National Portrait Gallery, 2006-7) and 82 Portraits and 1 Still-life (RA, 2016). #portraiture #davidhockney #fineartcommissions

  • Huge congratulations to @jrcoreth for winning the over 25s category of the Cecil Beaton’s Bright Young Things Photography Competition @nationalportraitgallery , selected from over 1000 entries, with this photograph of his family. Taking inspiration from Beaton’s photography, the competition asked for portraits inspired by the following themes: costume and masquerade; fashion; props, performance and self-portraiture. Of the work, judge Tim Walker said ‘It’s very difficult to do group pictures well. Beaton was so good at it because he photographed people who naturally gathered together. His friends. Nothing was forced. The group in Jamie Coreth’s picture have that ease of a family of friends and reminds me of the importance of kinship when photographing a group.’ Special appearance from Turtle at the front 🐶

  • 8 May 1945. Churchill addresses the nation on VE Day : “My dear friends, this is your hour. This is not victory of a party or of any class. It’s a victory of the great British nation as a whole. We were the first, in this ancient island, to draw the sword against tyranny.” Image: Winston Churchill by Graham Sutherland. 1954. This portrait was commissioned by the Houses of Parliament as an 80th Birthday gift for Churchill. However, it was despised by the sitter and was never displayed. In fact, Churchill’s wife had it destroyed. She should have gone to FAC. We would have ensured everyone was happy with the portrait before the commission was completed!
