'Sunset,' (1893) probably shows a view over the Lake Pielinen near Koli in eastern Finland. The leading artistic personalities of Eero Järnefelt's generation, from Jean Sibelius to Akseli Gallen-Kallela, regarded Karelia as a lost paradise.

'Rag and Bone Shop,' (c1950) is a superb example of Joan Eardley’s uncompromising realism from her Glasgow period - it reflects her conviction that truth and beauty could be found in the grit and humanity of everyday life.

John Singer Sargent painted Robert Louis Stevenson at his house in Bournemouth a coastal resort on England's South Coast. Unlike previous portraits where Sargent captured Stevenson’s nervous energy, here (1887) he's in frail health and is depicted sitting down.

This is a view of the Sussex Downs near Rottingdean in Sussex. In 1912, William Nicholson wrote to a collector of his work: 'My downs are a little more wonderful than I ever saw them and to think of the poor fog-drowned devils in dirty London!'

In 'The Echo.' (1891) a young girl shouts into the Finnish midsummer night, and you feel her joy and wonder at discovering her voice ricocheting all around her. It's one of Ellen Thesleff's finest paintings yet her work wasn't shown at the Helsinki Ateneum until a century later.

Akseli Gallen-Kallela and his family spent the summer of 1904 by Lake Keitele in Konginkangas, in Middle Finland. The far looming island can be seen as one variation from the theme 'island of dreams,' a familiar subject in the history of art.

'The Greyhound.' (1908) John Lavery's picture depicts the drawing room at the British Legation at Tangier with the diplomat Sir Reginald Lister and Lavery's daughter Eileen. Sitters in Lavery's interiors are often subsidiaries to some other object in the room, in this case the greyhound.

2. Never mind that when governments cut spending, they cut their own revenue. As 14 years of disastrous experience has shown. Never mind that if Labour fails to change our lives for the better, visibly and tangibly, it will lose the next election, perhaps to the far right.

Milton Avery and his work has come to be regarded as invaluable to the history and changing aesthetics of American art; at times too representational for the Abstract Expressionists and too radical for traditionalists. A essential touchstone for Rothko, Pollock, and Barnett Newman.
