Post Modernism

On the toilet window sill in the student bedsit of my Niece in Brighton - there for the weekend to see anther niece's degree show, a book on Post Modernism - and mentioning Beuys and Rauschenberg in the same paragraph - so a book that I shall have to get, and add to the bibliography. Also the 'Beuys and Me' video

On the way back visiting the Pallant House gallery in Chichester, lots of work by Peter Blake, should perhaps have been on my list as a collector (collage, pop, erotic...) - thinking about web site design, especially in the light of how my assignment 5 talk went - still what to get the collage and print feel into the site, but looking to how this is done in terms of digital media. Web site design with reference to Peter Blake. Euan Uglow as well, should have been on my list perhaps in relation to life drawing - simply because he is a favourite. I was thinking that is some small way there was a stylistic similarity between the two in how they had rendered flesh in paint.

Will there be a kick back retro style some time that incorporates chunky black Arial pillar box read and peppermint green?
