Although the building, and the view from it are quite
stunning, I thought I’d draw some of the art whilst at the Tate Modern on
Saturday.
‘The Snail’ by Henri Matisse
Often it can be a surprise to see a painting or sculpture in
real life after seeing it previously just in reproductions. This artwork by Matisse was much bigger than
I imagined, dwarfing the many viewers.
‘Tree of 12 metres’ by Giuseppe Penone
These rather elegant looking trees have been carved out of
solid blocks of wood.
‘Trap’ by Pino Pascali
As I stood in the corner of the room sketching, I suddenly
realised that some people were doing a double take and you could see them
thinking, ‘Is she part of the artwork?’
A very excited little girl, who was having great fun running
around the galleries, said ‘What’s that mama?’
I didn’t hear her mother’s reply but a little while later a small boy
exclaimed gleefully, ‘Sausages!’as he ran into the room.
