05.04.17 sketches


While a student at the Slade, Augustus John would rip up and discard his sketches. Another student pulled them out of the trash and compiled albums out of the remnants. Weird; but weirder still, the albums are on display in the UCL Art Museum.

My pedestrian commute through central London often takes me across the UCL campus, where I always take a moment to say hello to Jeremy Bentham.
