Dame Laura Knight
Dame Laura Knight (nee Johnston)
British 1877 - 1970 Laura Knight was born in Long Eaton, Derbyshire and studied at the Nottingham School of Art; she was the youngest student at the time being just thirteen. She married the artist Harold Knight and together they set up studios in Staithes, Newlyn and London. She was more flamboyant than her quiet and mild mannered husband and was great friends and painting partner of Alfred Munnings. Her work includes beautiful Seascapes and Beach Scenes depicting Cornwall from 1908 when she first arrived in Newlyn, already a successful artist. The First World War ended their time in Cornwall, though she kept a studio there for many years. Later when she moved to London she became fascinated by the Theatre and Circus. She found new subjects in the Diaghilev Ballet and painted many pictures of the ballet, behind the scenes and rehearsals. Laura Knight went on to be made a Dame for her achievements and was elected to the Royal Academy in 1935. There are many books on Laura Knight and her work and there has been a recent comprehensive exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, London.

Dorian Gray at Opium Den from "The Picture of Dorian Gray" surreal portrait
By Jim Dine
Located in New York, NY
This surreal etching portrait of Dorian Gray by Jim Dine in blue ink features the literary protagonist dressed in a white suit. His face is obscured by a mass of hair, tangles of which seem to grow from the sleeves, pant legs, and from beneath the jacket. Dine's notes are written on the image: at his feet reading "WHITE BOOTS" and "White Vinyl Suit" alongside the jacket. On the left edge of the image handwritten text reads "DORIAN GRAY AT OPIUM DEN". In Oscar Wilde's novel Dorian Gray keeps opium in an ornate box in his home, and frequents sites of consumption on the East side of London: “There were opium dens where one could buy oblivion, dens of horror where the memory of old sins could be destroyed by the madness of sins that were new”. An opium den is where Sybil's brother James discovers Dorian. The brother attempts to capture the man he believes is responsible for the death of his sister. Dorian flees to his home, ultimately slashing the portrait that has kept him young for so long.
Etching by Jim Dine from one of his most important artist’s books – completely designed and illustrated by Dine. Study for the Rings on Dorian Gray’s Hand from “The Picture of Dorian Gray...
