ps. Here's a quote on Laura Knight's coastal paintings from Sarah Reynolds: "The works depict solitary women looking out across the calm blue expanse of the ocean towards France. There are no men in them because they are all fighting and dying in the trenches. These are deeply psychological works."

ps. For many of his artworks and his 'Anthropometry' body painting soirées (which included a small orchestra and a select audience), Yves Klein used his own special shade of blue paint called "International Klein Blue (IKB)".

ps. The director of this 1975 Hamlet was Buzz Goodbody. She was the first female director at the Royal Shakespeare Company. But she tragically died far too young at the age of 28.

A closer look at "Le Bal Bullier" (The Bullier Ballroom) by Sonia Delaunay. Although it seems at first to be just a colourful collection of abstract shapes. this revolutionary painting from 1913 actually shows the couples, lights and vibrant movement of the dancehall in an entirely new way.

A closer look at "The Nuremberg Trial" (1946) by Laura Knight. As well as bringing the destruction of WW2 into the courtroom in the backgound, Knight has also emphasised the importance of the documented facts and evidence, with the wealth of white paper echoed in the white helmets of the guards.
