There's a great letter by Fry about painting the landscape where he says the frogs in the pond distract him but that he's made friends with a lizard who keeps him company while he paints

Paul Maitland's work is too little-known but he was a wonderful painter of late 19th century London. His 'Factories bordering the River' recently went on display at Tate Britain.

What paintings would you want for your artificial city? Turner's 'Peace-Burial at Sea', Sargent's 'Nonchaloir', and Vermeer's 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' in episode 2 of 'Paradise'

Detail of Peter Kennard's 'Haywain with Cruise Missiles' in the exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery. Great to see the original photomontage, so often reproduced.

A favourite work by a favourite artist: George Clausen's portrait of his brother-in-law Alfred George Webster. It's in the Usher Gallery, Lincoln, along with a collection of Webster's own paintings.
