Ladak Art & Framing

Käthe Kollwitz (1867–1945) was a German artist known for her technical brilliance. Her works portray suffering with sensitivity and compassion.
Kollwitz made a series of arresting self-portraits – this one is from 1924 http://ow.ly/cWmJ30nWwlZ #IWD2019 #ladak #london #art #eastsheen #richmond

“I would say the core of this concerto is in the second movement, where the piano is taking a role more like an accompanist; as another colour and as another part of the orchestral structure.”

Driving was a popular pastime in the 18th century, and high open carriages like this required a degree of skill to manoeuvre. They were known as 'phaetons' after the son of the god Apollo who recklessly attempted to drive his father's chariot: https://bit.ly/2rUpzJU #ladak #art #london #eastsheen #pictureframing

Continuing with our musical theme of the last few days, this movement has been associated with Orpheus taming the Furies, but don’t let that deceive you - it’s stunningly beautiful! Have a listen, then book your tickets for the 22nd and 23rd February now: http://lpo.uk/BeethovenCycle #ladak #london #art #music #beethoven #eastsheen

Moving back to art news and Rosso Fiorentino was one of the most talented and unconventional Florentine artists of the early 16th century. Not many portraits are known by him but this is the earliest. It shows an unknown man glancing up from a letter dated 22 June 1518: https://bit.ly/2GZva9s #ladak #art #london #eastsheen #richmond #nationalgallery

Keeping to our musical theme, the following may be of interest.

Very good quality framing and excellent customer care. I would highly recommend Ladak.

Such a great choice of frames, have had a number of frames made, including 1 bespoke mirror! Very happy.

Really cannot recommend Ladak enough. Have gotten to know Amin because of this, and he is the perfect gentleman. The framing is craft work at its finest, and the atmosphere in the gallery makes you feel comfortable at all times.
