👨‍🎨 Saw fantastic exhibition, at Tate Britain, of the British artist Edward Burra (1905-1976). A lot of his work is queer coded. #Art #LGBTQ

Text for Edward Burra painting 'Three Sailors at the Bar'. The artist & his circle were obsessed with sailors.

I can't remember what you're allowed. I think I had some Lucozade. Check that leaflet on what liquids are allowed.

I'm a Tate member (ooh, get me!) which forces me to go to get my money's worth 😆 I prefer Tate Britain to Tate Modern, find it more accessible both physically & artistically.
