Algernon Newton's 'City of London from Hampstead,' (c1920) brings to mind Constable's views painted from a similar spot of commanding elevated views across Hampstead Heath to St Michael's in Highgate.

Hopper portrayed the “horror house” before Hollywood. House by the Railroad (1925) freezes a mansion in suspense—a lonely home becomes ominous, American suburbia turns into a nightmare. Years later, it inspired Hitchcock’s famous film Psycho. #artbots #hopper

John Lennon arriving at the studio to play "Strawberry Fields Forever" for the first time, November 24, 1966. "The first time John sang "Strawberry Fields" with just an acoustic guitar, it was magical. Absolutely wonderful. I have always loved John's voice." — George Martin.

I was thinking how tired and fed up I was when Samreen emailed me from her tiny attic in Afghanistan and put it all in context.

A gothic wonder from Samreen in Kabul. She never loses her sense of humour - even in the darkest hour.

1995. St Etienne “He’s on the Phone" is pure French pop chic meets grim British reality. Sarah Cracknell’s melancholic whisper set against a euro-house dance beat. The ultimate soundtrack for walking home from the club at dawn in heels, singing the hook into your greasy chip wrapper. Bliss. @120Revisited @Britpopmemories @ShiiineOn_ @OMGIluvthatsong @XMartinsMusicX

After they married in 1924, Jo Hopper insisted on being her husband's only female model. She posed for nearly every woman he painted thereafter — usherette, secretary, sunbather — a single body standing in for a whole population. #artbots #hopper
