Simply..reverence....

A reverence for things is what I think I first liked about Marie Kondo's appproach to tidying, and in this film about Japanese Tea Bowls I get a sense of that. Also in this film of a Danish potter Paying Honest Attention.

The Goldmark Gallery are especially known for ceramics and prints and they have a brilliant collection of films - hours of education and entertainment if you are tired of TVand Netflix!

Another favourite of mine is this one about Matisse, who became more and more courageous as he grew older.

These films are longer than the Philip Mould ones. Today I have watched several as it has been so cold with lashing rain.

I've been very cosy, having brought back out the winter throws. I hope you are cosy too.

Thanks for the Matisse referral. I watched. The paper cutouts remain my favorite of all his styles of art

I love those! But perhaps my favourite at his drawings.

I sat and watched the second film. I’m not good at sitting but this one held me. Thank you.

Thank you for all these suggestions Freda. I love the way the Japanese also embrace imperfection and damage through the art of Kintsugi. Another form of reverence.
