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.Richard Cook was always a good painter, but in recent years he has worked himself free of the heady influences that once dogged his work. His thick licks and sweeps of paint, often inches deep on the canvas, still draw comparison with Kossoff or Auerbach, but these days the marks he makes are entirely his own.
An excellent selection of new work is at Austin Desmond, 68 Great Russell Street, London WC1 (0171-242 4443) until 10 October.
