This autumn and winter, the Courtauld Gallery will be showing an exhibition of Peter Lanyon’s ‘gliding paintings’, made towards the end of his career when the Cornish artist took up gliding as a new way of experiencing his home landscape.

A retrospective exhibition of the work of Lucian Freud opens at the Kunsthistoriches Museum in Vienna on 8 October. The works, selected with the help of the artist before his death in July 2011, are from throughout Freud’s artistic career – a period of almost seventy years – and will explore Freud’s interest in historical art and artists such as Dürer, Holbein, Titian and Velasquez, amongst others.  Lucian Freud: In Private, an exhibition of photographs of Freud in his studio taken by David Dawson, will run concurrently at the Sigmund Freud Museum in Vienna, and includes images of the artist at work which have never been shown before.

‘Charles Saumarez Smith knows the company of artists well enough to know that artists are an amusing bunch; you tend to get a lot of miscreant with your creant. The major artistic themes of the 18th and 19th centuries are observed and the key players nodded to, but the book is best on the politics and exploded stuffiness of an institution that stands for both creativity and the Establishment. This is well told and beautifully drawn – and it seems that the best way to live in the titular fellowship is to open a bottle of something strong’, Monocle
