Comments on: Leon Kossoff At Arnold Circus https://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/12/08/leon-kossoff-at-arnold-circus/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Tue, 01 Mar 2016 18:52:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.4 By: Siddiqa Anjuma https://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/12/08/leon-kossoff-at-arnold-circus/#comment-1081087 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 18:52:10 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=103441#comment-1081087 I’m one of the children from here and I find it so interesting to look back on these, I’m actually studying art now and I love comparing my drawings from then to the ones I do now. Going to see the gallery actually helped me, as it gave me more experience, something which is highly recommended by my teachers. I showed the pictures to my friends and, to be honest we started laughing because we will start GCSE’s soon and we used to be so stressed about SAT’s back then. We have all changed a lot and it’s funny looking back at our little kid selves compared to our teenage selves. Also thanks for the compliments from people who have said so, its really nice of you.

I lived in Boreham Street, some 50 yards away from a very small Kossoff shop, and I have fond memories of visiting the Kossoff home in Hackney whilst on wartime leave.

Best regards

Ron

But I’m truly amazed at the drawings produced by the primary children of Virginia Rd School. Their observation, their sense of composition and perspective, is astonishing for their age. They must have an excellent teacher. Leon Kossof is truly inspirational.

They are all so good with great movement and confident sweeps.
Thank you so much
