David Bowie to George Bellows

Saw the Bowie exhibition on Thursday - very comprehensive collection of his work from the early beginnings.  His influence on the arts can be seen when looking at the collection of photos and memorabilia from other areas of the arts he has inspired.  It felt like being at a Bowie concert - there's so much music and film performance.

Really enjoyed the George Bellows at the Royal Academy, particularly his early work.  I felt that in later years he concentrated more on the comfortable side of art - paintings of wealthy families.  I left the exhibition wishing the last part had been as exciting and painterly as the first part.
