Becoming Picasso: Paris 1901, The Courtauld Gallery



This exhibition showcases paintings Picasso produced at the age of 19. There's a strong influence from other artists and the sudden suicide of his friend in a Parisian cafe. You can see the progression through that year of his style and how he developed his techniques. The works at the beginning of his Blue Period almost made me cry I found them so moving. I strongly recommend a visit. It's only two rooms but it is a very beautiful experience.

"The most exuberant, magnificently focused selection of early Picassos that I have encountered" The Financial Times

Steve Buscemi/ Grimes/ Vampire Weekend


American Express, in partnership with VEVO and YouTube, announced at the beginning of the month that Vampire Weekend, and award-winning actor, director and producer Steve Buscemi, have been selected to kick-off the fourth year in its popular live stream music series, “American Express Unstaged.” I know what I'll be watching 9pm tonight. There's viral a video where Grimes appears in a park where he tries to convince her to have Brunch with him and Vampire Weekend.

Shades of Pink

I think pink is such an underrated colour. When contrasted against oranges or blues hot pink can be nicer than red and leave more of a statement.
