Take a look at some of the artists featured in East End Vernacular
Greetings from Boston,
GA, kudos on continuing to focus attention on those artists who have depicted the East End over the decades. I particularly enjoyed:
John Allin – Spitalfields Market, 1972 (busy daytime street scene)
Roland Collins – Brushfield St, Spitalfields, 1951-60 (close up of a wheelbarrow in the quiet of night with Christ Church in the distance)
Harry T. Harmer – St Botolph’s Without Aldgate, 1963 (love those little bird-like figures of the children)
James Mackinnon – Twilight at London Fields (the rising moon and buildings through the branches of trees)
Gentle Author and Gentle Readers, the richness above. Yet, the New York Times runs an article today favorably reviewing the hearings on Bethnel housing initiatives. From what we have learned on this website, an article presenting the opposing point of view to the NY Times is in order.
