Yoko Ono’s peace protest art on show in London

Estelle Lovatt, art critic: ” was really lucky to interview Yoko when she was here in London a few years ago, and I found her the most remarkable experience. And I say experience because she’s almost like a walking gallery herself. She’s full of poetry and passion and pain and excitement and thought. And I came away almost as if I had been meditating. And it’s interesting because the way that she relates to the world and relates to the art world are very connected. And she says without art, she feels she would choke.”

Impressionists on Paper, Royal Academy London


Van Gogh, Degas, Cezanne, Toulouse-Lautrec – show time for masters of Impressionism in London

Estelle Lovatt, art critic: “So this exhibition is really special because what it’s doing is it’s telling us new things about the Impressionists and the Post-impressionists, such as the fact that new materials were being made, so we’ve got new ways of making pastel and watercolour and paper. So everything’s transportable, which of course makes it easier for the artist to go outside and work en plein air, on the spot.”
