Some Favourites From The Tate Britain

Walking around the Tate Gallery I found myself some old and new favourites, I actually live only 5 minutes from the Tate and have been there numerous times (on dates or with school) but on my recent visit I really took time to look at things and there seemed to be alot more to see since my last visit and a much better ambience to the place. here's a list of all the artists that I enjoyed the most and couldn't take a sneaky picture of.


John Constable 'Sketch for Hadleigh Castle' 1828



John Constable 'The Sea near Brighton' 1826


John Sargent 'Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose' 1885


Francis Bacon 'Study for a Portrait' 1952



Henry Moore 'Draped Seated Woman' 1957-1958



                                  





Henry Moore's Tube Shelter Sketches done in 1940


Don McCullin Homeless man in Spitalfields market 1969





John Martin 1789 -1854 (Probably one of my favourite artists of all time, his paintings are biblical and apocalyptic and you really have to see them in person!)


Peter Doig 'Ski Jacket' 1994


JMW Turner 'Norham Castle Sunrise' 1845


JMW Turner 'Rough Sea' 1840-1845


Lucian Freud 'Girl with a kitten' 1947


Theodore Roussel 'The Reading Girl' 1847


Theodore Roussel 'The Thames from Chelsea'  1890


Nigel Henderson 'Wig stall Petticoat Lane' 1952

A little Sunday visit to the New Look Tate Britain

The new Stunning ceiling

lots of Henry Moore sculptures

Jacob and The Angel by Jacob Epstein (When I first saw this sculpture years ago I actually gasped, still by far my favourite)

great opportunity to take some sneaky pics too ;)

loved The Chapman Collection the most as it was such a surprise that they were all characters from Mcdonalds 


 Lucian Freud, 'Girl with a Kitten' 1947
