The Art Gallery

Had time to dip into the Tate Britain on a trip to London today, and was reminded what a fabulous place it is (and free for everyone).

This painting in particular caught my eye. It's a late work by William Roberts, which the catalogue says shows the "distinctive simplified tubular figures and subject matter of people engaged in everyday urban activities".

What was special about it for me was the slightly uncomfortable feeling of looking at a picture about the people who look at pictures...

I think we saw examples of most these people / behaviours this afternoon, but I hope I was like the guy with the beard and the hat - the only one actually looking at the artwork!
