I'll move commenting on the paintings of figures in addition to portraits of existent in addition to fictional people inward a shipping service I convey withal to write at the weekend (see endnote) - because at that topographic point are roughly serious observations to move made nearly artwork involving figures.

You'll abide by these portraits inward Gallery II on the correct of the door that leads you lot into Gallery III which this twelvemonth holds the pocket-size industrial plant which convey been moved from the Small Weston Room into a much bigger infinite (hurrah!)

I am non an proficient in addition to past times no way existence judgemental when I hold off at these portraits, but I bet at that topographic point are roughly bloody goodness artists out at that topographic point who got their move rejected for these? How does that work?
Some serious questions for YOU!
- Is at that topographic point a house for 'celebrity art' inward the Summer Exhibition? For example, is it included merely to
- create a talking indicate and
- play a work inward marketing the exhibition i.e. larn coverage inside the wider media?
- Is at that topographic point a house for serious portraiture past times serious portrait artists inward the RA's Summer Exhibition?
- Are at that topographic point perhaps also few portrait artists alongside the contemporary Royal Academicians?
- Or is serious portraiture best left to the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, the BP Portrait Award (which also opens this calendar month on 18th June) in addition to the National Portrait Gallery?
