Notes
Nostalgia's not what it used to be
While we are closed, we are able to research some of the works in our collection whose stories have not been told.

Notes
Memories of Lili Kraus
Gallery guide Sara Newman remembers a performance given by Lili Krauss in Nelson in 1946.
Notes
Felled
Words really are superfluous for this one, except to extend thanks to John Collie for photography, Simon Lawrence for editing and our good neighbours across the road at the WEA for allowing a camera to be placed on their property.

Notes

For the record, here is the text of the poem by John Keats (1795-1821), written in 1816, entitled On first looking into Chapman's Homer.
