    In this episode, Philip investigates a father-son relationship between bohemian artist Augustus John and his son Robin John. Robin John (1904-1988) was the third son of Augustus John and his first wife Ida Nettleship (1877-1907). The two had a difficult relationship, Robin's silences often infuriated John, who declared his son ‘hardly utters a word and radiates hostility'. Robin recollected; ‘I’m sure he [Augustus] regretted our inability - as I did - to achieve a friendly and easy relationship. But the main obstacle was that he - fundamentally - was a rebel against established society and most conventions, while I hated Bohemianism and yearned for a normal life - which made me in turn also a rebel - but in reverse’.

    As an artist working in isolation.....even before Covid, I so appreciate your wonderful 'intrusions' in my day. I feel as though an old friend drops by..... Many thanks!

    What dynamic accusatory eyes! No words need be spoken, Robin does indeed sit in judgement of his bohemian father; and to give credit where credit is due, Augustus has the nerve and skill to paint what is plainly visible...a son’s disregard! The irony is that this rather ill-will ends up being beautifully, delicately rendered! Thank you dear Philip, from a fan in California.

    Thank you again, Philip. I'm just loving this Series 2--as much or even more than Series 1. In what already feels like "the bleak midwinter, frosty winds made moan" ... your invitation to share yourself, your home, your deep insights into these individuals and their art ... it's simply soul food. Deep nourishment. Thank you from another Canadian also on the Pacific west coast. Stay well. PS - thank you to your production team too - and to your beloved wife, for sharing her home with us!

    @lyntoncox7880 3 года назад +1

    Marvelous characterisation. My first Brush with his work was the portrait of GB Shaw at Shaw’s Corner near my home. He caught Shaws bristly humour just right. The French have a term for such a state “Pèter des étincelles” (I’ll leave the translation to the reader)which Shaw did just by being Shaw. In A J’s brushwork you could almost see those sparks. Few portraitists can equal AJ in capturing such essentials, often heightened by a sort of unfinished rest of the painting, almost a sketch, throwing the face into foreground relief.

    That tingle from the past you mention leads me to relate my own experience. White folk have only been in Australia for a couple of hundred years, but many years ago while walking at Lake Mungo in NSW, I came upon a greenstone axe-head. This probably came from the Mt William outcrop in Victoria, traded along the ancient routes. It must have been around 40.000 years old. I left it there, hidden where it belonged.....but I certainly felt that tingle!

    Loving this series. Even before your insightful character analysis of Robin, I viewed the expression as sullen. The fact that John painted his son honestly is a credit.
    It seems his wife
    might just have been grateful to the mistress, given John’s prodigious appetites and energies - a regular satyr in fact.

    The son is clearly scowling at his father. The artist was clearly delighted by the look. He obviously reveled in the scorn of his son. A bit like the artist saying to him I don’t give a damn what you think of me. A bit disturbing and probably says quite a bit about the man behind the paint brush.

    I am going to guess around 1525-1550. I am basing this on the painting of the lace on the cap. If I’m right it’s an exceptionally good baby, many in this timeframe still look like little adults perched on mama’s lap.
    I’m wondering about your home gallery, does it evolve? New items come in and others go to your business gallery? How does one part with someone or something that has become part of the fabric of your life?

    A wonderful defiance, almost hatred, in those eyes and John, although probably resenting that as a father, nonetheless portrays it because that's what his acute artistic eye sees. I suspect a ruthless honesty plays a big role in memorable portraits? Top work again, many thanks

Would be nice to be selected with some of our paintings which could appear of interest to all viewers and maybe identifying the artists, or attributing via comments.
