Tate To Blow Up The Best Of British Art

This is a headline in The Times and describes a plan by the Tate to put large images of some of our most famous paintings on thousands of poster sites around the country. There’s more on the scheme called Art Everywhere, here in the Independent.

I would like to see Whistlejacket, by George Stubbs displayed, but did Stubbs paint it the wrong way round to be used.

I think it’s a brilliant idea. At least they’ll be more relevant to me, than the usual boring adverts you see, like the one I saw yesterday.

In fact I think it is so brilliant, I’ve just donated a small amount of money to help.  £3 pays for the printing of a poster.

Some didn’t like the headline in The Times, but I think it’s just another in the series that contains the brilliant “Fog in Channel, Continent Cut Off!”,  That headline is discussed here.

Money may make the world go round, but humour puts the smile on everybody’s faces.
