Very pleased to have been. Some of her paintings are stunning. 🙂

Fantastic exhibition, I saw it 2 months ago in the beautiful and unique Dulwich ! It is worth a visit to Dulwich with a stroll in the park.

I like Berhe Morisot's work. She did bear witness to the birth of Impressionism. Her mom had Tuesday night dinner parties. In the midst of the talk of local politics and the weather, she was getting updates of the happiness of the art scene and the Impressionism and the movement

Yes thank you. Berthe was the best.

Lesser known, but at least as splendid as her paintings, are her drawings, watercolors and pastels.

This breathy, week, all most historic voice … with repetitive gestures…urrrr you need a year in voice classes darling

[@outsiderny]

Respect to Katy for her knowledge and energy, but have you please in watching this learned to keep your hands still? It's repetitive and distracting from the value of your commentary.

[@spundam]

I agree - I call it 'conducting an invisible orchestra.'

[@PaulRamnora]

Personally speaking, I don't find her hand movements distracting at all...; I feel that it's just her individual way of expressing highly 'infective' passion for the subject she has chosen to discuss. Those people who stand there still like a rock...speaking in a deadpan 'unmoving' manner...doesn't add any sense of excitement to me at all. Furthermore, when she does choose to focus on a particular painting...; at that point, we view only the painting, alone...with nil distractions...just a matter of hit 'pause'.
