'...slathers of custard-yellow paint, white icing that casts shadows like Arctic snow: his painting is as calorific as cream, as smoothly spread as lemon curd.' @lauracummingart.bsky.social 's delicious piece will make you want to go see these cake paintings.

The LRB published many of Tony Harrison’s poems over the years, including, most famously, ‘v.’ To mark forty years of the poem, and in tribute to its author, live readings will take place in Holbeck on Sunday 12 Oct, in association with Slung Low. More info/tickets: www.slunglow.org/v-a-homecomi...

My bit on Lee Miller - so much better when she gets away from the leering Surrealists!

What a beautifully written article that made me feel the heat of Egypt. 😱 I have always dreamed of going there, to see the pyramids and other wonders. We should never forget the ancient artists that left their mark on the walls and ceilings. Thank you for sharing your journey!

Can’t help thinking @lauracummingart.bsky.social should be on commission, but at least the book is sold in the @mauritshuismus.bsky.social gift shop!

I’m curating an exhibition of the Two Roberts at Charleston in Lewes. It opens Oct 15 and will be very gorgeous and very gay and very Scottish and that’s for starters. I’ve got a nice wee discount for my newsletter subscribers:

Please read this piece by @patrickbarkham.bsky.social
about his daughter Milly and Lyme Disease. It's important and impacts so many more people than most of us realise. Get well soon Milly ♥️

·
As my daughter got sicker and sicker, our quest for answers dragged on. How did we all miss the bacteria taking over her body?
I write about nature, but when Milly got sick with a mystery illness, it never occurred to me that a long-forgotten tick bite could be the cause

No one should pay to see this movie until Disney stops censoring employees who say things disagreeable to the regime. That will be no great sacrifice as this movie will be dull as rocks. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...
Star Wars: Starfighter – what the new picture of Ryan Gosling tells us
Will the Shawn Levy-directed instalment, set five years after The Rise of Skywalker, offer a radical reinvention or return us to a period no one particularly wants to revisit?

This is from that wonderful piece by @lauracummingart.bsky.social in the Observer re the upcoming Fitzwilliam Museum exhibition on Ancient Egyptian artists - a painting I've never seen before of a monkey scratching a woman’s nose, believed to be a parody of the Opening of the Mouth ceremony
