Turner Posted 5:00pm Sunday 2nd Nov 2014 Timothy Spall as the painter JMW Turner and Marion Bailey as his landlady Sophia Booth in Mike Leigh's film Mr Turner.

With Spall working his way through a 19th-century England recreating the actual JMW Turner, who was born in 1775 and died in 1851? The real Turner was more handsome and elegant, in his own eyes.

Hockney on art Tuesday 30th Sep 2014 David Hockney thinks art has become "less". Hockney blames the art establishment (art schools) for being enamoured with conceptual art: "It gave up on images a bit" .

He feels, museums and galleries have jumped into the unmade bed of conceptual crap art. But Hockney says "the power is with images", and in neglecting them the artworld is diminished.

Red Coat Art I have been interested in monotone work for some time now and it stems from my love of old black and white films with te harsh lighting and intense shadows. When I first did one of my black and white paintings the gallery and framers I used told me it was a waste of time to frame it and should just take it out and burn it. Well despite this well intentioned advice I continued and framed the work and another gallery sold it the day before my first solo show opened and Peter Howson attended and...
