Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.John Bellany is all too often written off as a painter of fishing boats and Gaelic symbolism meaningless to a non-Celtic audience. On the strength of his present showing, this is far from the case. These are powerful, intense works whose prolonged study repays the viewer.

That Danish art did not end with the well-known Skagen landscape school of the 1880s is evinced by a fascinating exhibition. Particularly revealing are Jens Willumsen's Fauvist nudes, the minimalism of Soren Jensen and Elisabeth Toubro and, of course, the faux-primitif paintings of Asger Jorn.

One of the West Country's most neglected abstractionists, George Dannatt, is given a deserving outing from this Saturday. Influenced by John Wells and Naum Gabo, Dannatt, 80 this year, makes engaging Nicholson-esque paintings with a resonance that betrays his erstwhile career as a music critic.
