Sophie Taeuber-Arp at Tate : Imagine if Paul Klee had been so relativ unsung...

¹ Also slightly younger, Täuber-Arp had a shorter career, since she died [from CO poisoning] on 13 January 1943 (days before her 54th birthday²), but she had achieved so much more - in whatever medium, work that lasts and has far more to say !

² Arp died 23 years later, at 79.

Composition of Quadrangular, Polychrome, Dense Strokes (1921)

Gouache and graphite on paper

Luxuriating in 4-5h, back at @Tate Modern again, in a show, one inevitably doesn't simply want to take photos that won't be as good as in the exhibition postcards or books - but, with an artist as aware of movement as #SophieTaeuberArp, it's fun showing the latent force at work ! pic.twitter.com/xAD3gQBIdq

Where one might have missed it, on the landing of Level 2 of The Blavatnik building, was a video of figures put in motion, but did no one have the means (or forethought) to film at the time ?

Sunday 17 October

Or bas-relief (when rotated through 180°) ?

Or is it as when Gary Brooker wrote ? :

'It's a trick of the night
Everything is all right
Caught me while I was dreaming of you
It's a trick of the night
Everything is alright
Caught me while I was sleeping'https://t.co/BNbejfuCPG pic.twitter.com/2eNPlJ1gAR
