The Pre-Raphaelites: Britain’s Romantic rule breakers
Some paintings will always be identified with the place where you first saw them. You may even feel surprised to see them somewhere else. This is how I felt when I visited the Mori Arts Center Gallery, one of Tokyo's high-rise art venues, to see "Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Avant-Garde."

'Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Avant Garde'
In London, 1848, a group of young pioneering artists began to shake the mid-19th-century British art world by combining rebellion and revivalism with scientific precision and the imagination. They took inspiration from early Renaissance painting and willfully challenged artistic conventions, calling themselves the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Led by John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the group began an artistic revolution that became Britain's first modern art movement and continued to inspire artists throughout the 20th century.

Time for a fresh look at the life and art of L.S. Lowry
In a somewhat stark meeting room at Tate Britain, the curators of its forthcoming L.S. Lowry show, T.J. Clark and Anne M. Wagner, are attempting, at my request, to extol the artist's virtues to me. It's a complicated business. For one thing, I have the impression that they regard enthusiasm as infra dig. "I'll give it a shot," says Wagner, reluctantly. "But I don't think you're going to be convinced."
