Austin Osman Spare



Few things give me the excuse to venture to Elephant and Castle. Second hand bikes is one good reason. Architectural cautionary tales are another.
This week, a collection of the drawings and painting of Austin Spare have been on show in the Cuming Museum inside Southwark Town Hall.
I was just left wondering why all his work is not housed in the National Gallery. A real, rare treat.
You have until 14th November, after which time perhaps Atlantis books in Museum Street can help give you a taster.
