Pre-Raphs

[Pervert]

prb

Angry young artists of the 19th century as drama. I thought the Beeb had already covered this back in the 1970s, with Ben Kingsley as Rossetti and Peter Egan as Millais.

The Bloomsbury Group would be far more interesting.

Well, 30 odd years on, I still recall the scene of Rossetti getting his wife's grave reopened to claim the poems he'd had buried with her years before.

'Desperate Romantics paints a modern, vivid and irreverent portrait of this group of painters whose attitude to the establishment makes them comparable to the punks a hundred years later'

God help us!

More softcore BBC porn...I think the Bloomsbury Group are rather lucky...but Minnow Films may snap that one up!

You don't recall the Royal Society's exhibition Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Pre-Raphs, then?

That Dante Gabriel Rosette wuz a bit of c**t, wasn't he? Just ask Charles Renne Macintosh (If he was still alive) what he thought of him..

Best place to view them strangely is at Birmingham Museum..some beauties..their paintings I mean..

[Jonone]

What were they angry about ? Were they the angry brigade of their day ?

[Pervert]

They were angry that most people had two names and they had to struggle with three: Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais etc.

[Jonone]

Grinding poverty and the price of paint then ?
