Описание: The main sign in the exhibition by Lucinda Rogers. She writes: "My principal way of working is to draw from life, taking inspiration from what I see around me. The process starts by choosing a viewpoint that will best describe the subject - or sometimes a scene seems to want to be drawn. I find a place to sit or stand. Avoiding rain or direct sun. And draw for four to eight hours in one go." _____________________________ Lucy's notion of the scene wanting to be drawn made me smile. Mutual recognition as city scene and artist choose one another? My smile is not because this is fanciful, but because it feels like an underlying truth. As Jane Jacobs wrote about a New York city sidewalk: “Under the seeming disorder of the old city, wherever the old city is working successfully is a marvellous order for maintaining the safety of the streets and the freedom of the city." It works, Jane Jacobs added, as "an intricate ballet in which the individual dancers and ensembles all have distinctive parts which miraculously reinforce each other and compose an orderly whole." it seems to me, as with the good city street, so with the good city market. _____________________________ Find it hard to read the text in my photo?
