Comments on: My East End Vernacular Lecture https://spitalfieldslife.com/2023/09/24/my-east-end-vernacular-lecture-i/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Thu, 28 Sep 2023 14:41:35 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Barry Matthews https://spitalfieldslife.com/2023/09/24/my-east-end-vernacular-lecture-i/#comment-1522672 Thu, 28 Sep 2023 14:41:35 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=197045#comment-1522672 Love them all.

Through the blog, and then through this beautiful volume, I discovered new-to-me artists………….and am so enriched by their stories and images. The Gramophone Man! Henry Silk’s intimate paintings of his surroundings, inside and out! The mysterious scenes by James Mackinnon! — and so much more. As a tribute to the extra-effort care of the publisher, I also enjoy that the cover of the book itself is a painting on heavily-textured canvas —- seemingly, a book/painting hybrid. People who love books notice such things, and the consistent top quality of these volumes is a tribute to our GA.

I’m very envious of those who can attend the lecture.

Well done, sir. Onward and upward.

Please support this work.
