Excellent, vibrant Edward Burra exhibition at @Tate Britain. Though you do get the feeling that these are what you'd get if you asked AI to meld Max Ernst with Beryl Cook.

“The painter’s unusual compositions, crafted with a distinct visual language, set him apart from his contemporaries,” says Amy Scanlon, Sworders’ Head of Picture Department. “Burra rejected formal affiliations with artistic groups even though his work was sometimes displayed in major Surrealism exhibitions.” “Nobody else’s work looked like Burra’s and his depictions of sex workers, gay culture and underworld figures reflected his travels to Paris and the South of France in the 1920s and the US in the early 1930s. The satirical works captured an era and a rapidly changing society – everyday life from the perspective of an observer.” – Julie Scanlon, Art Historian

Jazz, Paris and war’s brutality: the radical watercolours of Edward Burra, British art’s great unknown
He called art ‘fart’ and hated talking about his work, but a rare retrospective offers the chance to celebrate the radical visions of the 20th-century British painter

Edward Burra (1905-1976), Minuit Chanson (1931), private collection. Currently on display at #TateBritain until 19 October.
#EdwardBurra
“In 1931, Burra painted a group of figures standing outside Minuit Chanson (Midnight Song), a fashionable record shop in Paris. The same year, he wrote to Paul Nash, saying: 'My new occupation is going to the Boulevard Clichy to Minuit Chanson which is glorious. You put bits in the slot and listen to gramophone records. The clientele is enough to frighten you a bit. Burra was evidently delighted by the variety of people who frequented the establishment, painting each figure with an acute eye for detail, embellished with his fantastical style.” Tate Gallery, London
