Like many people who have retired from full time employment, Cathy Corbishley Michel has used some of her time to develop an interest in art. In Cathy’s case the results are quite astounding. Her remarkable cyanotypes have been designed using images sourced from the historical collections of the British Museum and other institutions in England, Scotland and around the world.

Nowt so queer
When I first heard about Queer British Art 1861-1967, the first such exhibition at Tate Britain in London, I was a little uneasy about the use of the term "queer." The word was not as current at the time of the exhibition in 2017 as it is now and, growing up in the 1960s and 70s, the term had always had a negative meaning to me. Tate made it clear at the time that they had consulted LGBTQ+ communities, who were supportive.

Not Art
My father was an artist, I am not. This has long been my understanding. Though my father lived and died unknown to the wider world of art, he was a capable water colourist, as well as working with other media. He was skilled at painting and drawing. I never inherited any of this skill with the paintbrush or the pencil, although I was a keen amateur photographer many years ago and still like to take photographs. These days, however, I only use my ancient iPhone, which has its limitations.

The Great Niko Pirosmani
I've been working on this story for several months, and it's going to be long but I just wanted to put a lot of things about Pirosmani in one place. You can read it in parts or come back to it, whatever is more convenient. But if you are into art, this is going to be a treat.

We Study Wars. But Do We Understand Conflict?
History remembers wars. Understanding begins long before the first battle. History is filled with conflict. Empires rise and fall through it. Borders are redrawn because of it. Governments collapse, religions divide, economies fracture, and entire civilizations are reshaped by it. From the earliest city-states to the modern world, conflict has remained one of the defining forces in human history.

An In-Depth Exploration of Journey to the Center of the Earth
Few adventure novels have captured the imagination of readers as powerfully as Journey to the Center of the Earth. Written by Jules Verne and first published in 1864, this groundbreaking work blends science, adventure, and fantasy into a thrilling tale of exploration beneath the Earth’s surface. As one of the earliest works of modern science fiction, the novel not only reflects the scientific curiosity of the 19th century but also demonstrates Verne’s extraordinary ability to transform speculative science into gripping storytelling.
