The way to the Picasso exhibition led through Trafalgar Square, which usually has something surprising, but not usually stray loaves of bread -
and usually has all sorts of people taking in the scene -
Quite by chance I arrived at the National Gallery in time for the lecture accompanying the annual Costume Parade - Wimbledon School of Art has a project for the costume students, to make a costume inspired by a painting in the gallery. This year they added in the morality play Everyman, so that each character in the play gets a costume. Here are some -- from the left, Messenger, God (an evacuee with dove, based on Picasso's child holding a bird), Death (the pink deer-like mask), Touch, Taste, Hearing, Confession, and though you can't see the huge angel-wings, the lad in the hoodie is Good Deeds.
Each of the makers came on stage with their model and costume, and told about the inspiration and the challenge of making it. Then after the final line-up, they went out into the gallery on a walking tour. It's amazing to see!
