Not so much a walk today as a slow shuffle round a very crowded Cezanne exhibition at the Courtauld. Admission is free on Mondays until 2pm, which may explain the deluge of people, or else it's just a very popular exhibition, which looks at Cezanne's sequence of paintings of peasant card players. Interesting to see the original of a print that my grandparents had on their wall (in a small cloakroom). My mind made a connection to my grandfather, who perhaps might be said to (only vaguely) resemble one of the card players, and to his love of playing cards.
A second photo today: a dizzying view from the top floor of the Courthauld.
