JMW Turner: Narrating A Modern World – Tate Britain – Edward Lucie-Smith
There can be no doubt that the new show devoted to Turner at Tate Britain is a meaty affair.

In present circumstances, with the coronavirus still raging, this will have saved the organisers a great deal of trouble.

British Baroque: Vintage National Triumphalism – Tate Britain – Edward Lucie Smith
Entering the new British Baroque show (as one does) from Tate Britain’s central upstairs space, currently, home to a multitude of group photographs of pupils in London primary schools is to enter a different world. Different socially, different aesthetically. Above all, different, in the attitudes, the event expresses concerning what visual art is about.

Steve McQueen: Year 3 – Tate Britain – Edward Lucie-Smith
I increasingly get the feeling that the two London Tates are struggling to know what to do with the huge central spaces that are a characteristic feature of both buildings.
