WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS: I bought lots of lemons yesterday and just having them in a bowl in front of me really brightens my mood. It reminds me of the Christopher Wood ‘Lemons in a Blue Basket’ in the @pallanthousegallery collection. In a letter to his mother from Sicily in May 1922, Wood described a drawing of lemons, which could apply to this painting: "… the tablecloth is all ruffled, crinkled and troubled with dark shadows and ups and downs which suggest to me the world that these lemons live in, everything that is going on around them. I expect you think all this is madness, but I have thought a good deal about still life and I think it is a means of expressing one's thoughts in a delicate manner which everyone else can't quite understand". Either they were tiny lemons, or that’s a big basket... It also brings to mind the little lemon at @kettlesyard which sits on a pewter tray under an Alfred Wallis and Wood’s Le Phare (the lighthouse). Missing art in museums currently, but thankful for real lemons in the meantime. #lemons #christopherwood #modernbritishart #pallanthousegallery (at Pallant House Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKmfW4-l_Zg/?igshid=1u81ljyepqtxg
