A man who has spent the day, as I have, in Surrey Quays - a part of London that, when I last looked, didn't even exist, and really still doesn't - is in no fit state to post, but I see it's Chagall's birthday (born 1887), so why not? Yes, he was an artist who 'went off', degraded his talent, became a production line, but still, for the best of his work, one of the greats... The image above is from one of his stained glass windows in the little church at Tudeley in Kent - an unexpected gem. Nothing like that in Surrey Quays...
