Review:

There's a delicious Picasso with a green bowl and a black bottle. There is a portrait of a woman by
Picasso with a falt face that looks like a Malevich on the face... a very good painting again.  
There are the Renoir. Stop the blah blah they are just Renoirs. It's funny that I went in to hunt
for Malevich's and there was so many people on the galleries, impossibleto seethe Monets, who cares?
I carried on to the beautiful Kandinsky, and less people there, until you get to the black square on
white and there is nobody in front of it... amazing. The british as art public will always amaze me.
The red square on white... best painting in the show. Gorgeous state of conservation. 
Folks, there is one Tatlin which I always wanted to see. It is a piecemadefor a corner of a gallery.
Guess what, they did not put it in a cornerof the gallery. They are so clever this RAcademicians.
They put in in the center with the tower and the documentary photographs, because it may break up
the stability of the show.... THAT IS WHAT THIS PIECE IS SUPOSSED TO DO...!!! There is another
Tatlin a simple painting of a fish seller. Excellent with orange cadmiium around the eyes. He was
rich already then, to be able to buy that cadmium.
