There are picturesque harbours and grand country houses set in vast acreages. There are impressive landmarks from the past such as Tintagel Castle, St Michael’s Mount and more standing stones and Neolithic sites than you can shake a stick at. They exist happily alongside the present day futuristic domes of Eden, the stately grey bulk of Tate St Ives, old Mine chimneys (sensibly bestowed with World Heritage status) and the spoil heaps of the clay pits near St Austell. 35 BEST OF CORNWALL 2020 However there is more to Cornwall’s appeal than It was clear that luck landmarks.

  • FRANCIS BACON Dublin, Ireland, 1909- Madrid, Spain, 1992
    FRANCIS BACON Dublin, Ireland, 1909- Madrid, Spain, 1992 Francis Bacon was born in Dublin but moved to London in 1925, where he lived and worked from then on. His figurative painting became famous for his grotesque portrayal of his subjects and its somber depiction of the human condition. He represented Britain in the Venice Biennale of 1956 together with artists Ben Nicholson and Lucian Freud, and is considered one of the most remarkable British artists of all time, although anecdotically he turned down a CBE in 1960. Though his work was not well received at first (and as a result he destroyed most of his earlier paintings), his fame started to grow from the 40s until he became one of the better known and most valued artists in the world. His art has been shown internationally in places such as Mexico City (1977), Madrid (1978), Tokio (1983) Moscow (1988) or Washington (1989), and the Tate Modern of London dedicated three retrospective exhibitions to his work (in 1977, 1985, and posthumously in 2008). During his life he was represented by the Hannover Gallery and the Malborough Fine Art Gallery, and nowadays we can find his pieces in museums and art galleries all around the world, for example at the Reina Sofía of Madrid, the Centre Pompidou of Paris, the MoMA of New York or the Tate Modern in London, and a number of them are part of private collections.

  • A Local's Guide to Falmouth, Cornwall: 10 Top Tips This Working Harbour
    A local’s guide to Falmouth, Cornwall: 10 top tips This working harbour town also has a creative buzz thanks to its thriving art school. The result is a winning blend of beach life, bohemian bars and great seafood Maritime museum To understand Falmouth (and arguably the rest of our island nation) you need to understand its relationship with the sea. The cavernous National Maritime Museum Cornwall, a beautiful building in itself, contains several floors of exhibitions that explore the changing influence of the sea on our lives – stories of discovery, survival and tragedy – and an active traditional boat workshop. Highlights include the undersea gallery in which visitors can watch fish swimming in the harbour from the sea bed, and the 30-metre lookout tower from which they can track the comings and goings of naval ships, superyachts, dinghies and cruise liners. The museum is popular with families who come for the performances, storytelling and treasure trails during the holidays, and warrants multiple visits, which is handy, especially when the weather turns. Celebrating its 15th birthday in 2018, the museum was central to the regeneration of Discovery Quay, now the focus for the town’s many festivals. The museum’s major exhibition, Titanic Stories explores the controversies, myths and stories that surround the best-known sinking of the 20th century. • Adult £13.50, child £6 (pay once, get in all year), open daily, nmmc.co.uk Gastro pub with rooms Once a spit-and-sawdust pub that served the crews of the Falmouth Working Boats, the Star and Garter, which opened in 1892, is now a smart gastro pub that prides itself on its nose-to- tail menu.

Returning to Paris in late 1859, he began conceiving the painting Alexandre et Bucéphale (Alexander and Bucephalus) (1861–62), which depicts an episode from Plutarch’s Lives. Étude pour “Alexandre et Bucéphale” (Study for “Alexander and Bucephalus”) consists of three separate studies for the central figure of Alexandre. It was the artist’s practice to assemble a composition piece by piece, often appearing to put greater effort into the details of a single figure than he did composing the work as a whole.

Scholars ask `What if?' What if Schwitters had got a passport to United States and had joined other artists in exile? He would have continued making Merz with American material. He would have had no `need' to paint figuratively.1 Would he have fitted his past into an even more `modernist' mould like his friend Naum Gabo, to please the New Yorkers?2 Surely not. `Emigration is the best school of dialectics' declared Bertold Brecht.3 Schwitters' last period must be investigated not in terms of `exile' but the dialectics of exile: as a future which cuts off a past which lives on through it all the more intensely in memory, repetition, recreation. `Exile' moreover is a purely negative term, foreclosing all the inspirational possibilities of a new `genius loci', a spirit of place: England. The Germany Schwitters knew was disfigured, disintegrating, self-destructing. His longing was for place which was no more. His Merzbau was destroyed by Allied bombing in 1943; Helma died in 1944: `Hanover a heap of ruins, Berlin destroyed, and you're not allowed to say how you feel.'4 The English period was a both a death and a birth, a question of identity through time, of new and old languages.
