LONDON EXHIBITION
Goya: The Portraits
National Gallery
Trafalgar Square, WC2
Until January 10
Striking and often unforgiving, Goya’s portraits demonstrate his daringly unconventional approach and remarkable skill at capturing the psychology of his sitters from the entire breadth of Spanish society, from the royal family and aristocrats, to intellectuals, politicians and military figures, to his own friends and family.
Providing penetrating insight into the public and private aspects of his life, the exhibition traces the artist’s development in a career that spanned revolution and restoration, war with France and the cultural upheaval of the Spanish Enlightenment. Pictured: detail of a portrait of the Duchess of Alba.

LIVERPOOL EXHIBITION
Works to Know by Heart: Matisse in Focus
Tate Liverpool
Albert Dock
Liverpool L3
November 20 2015 –May 2 2016
This autumn Tate Liverpool presents one of the most iconic works by Henri Matisse — The Snail, 1953. This is the only opportunity to see The Snail outside of London, as this masterpiece will not tour to other venues in our lifetime. At almost three metres square, it is one of Matisse’s largest and most significant paper cut-out works.
He began experimenting with this cut-out method in the late 1930s, adopting it wholeheartedly by the late 1940s when ill health prevented him from painting. Shown alongside will be additional Matisse works from Tate’s collection that span the genres of portraiture, landscape and still life. Not to be missed!
