Oh Ottoline! One of the last great art patrons. Although much abused by her loved ones, she gave them all they needed to grow artistically. Looking at this photo, I'm amazed at the hair structure required to support the vertical of her hat! Happy Easter.
Indeed, Happy Easter, PGT. I was at the NPG yesterday with a fellow blogger and had just cause to mention you as an intelligent aesthete and online arbiter
I love visiting the place; it's filled with such interesting renditions of leaders of culture, though I may have missed Ottoline's amongst them. I hope you'll make it over here some day
Ottoline is a fascinating person, I am immersed in 3 biographies and the same in her letters and correspondence-It may become an off shoot blog. Happy Easter to you Barbara and BB too
Barima, I am going to see you sometime in the future and would love to stroll that gallery with you. It is lovely that you remembered me! Ottoline is on the Mind of late, more on her later. hope you have a lovely holiday. pgt
