Round of applause for JD Vance's kiss-of-death to Orban. Having failed in Iran and having killed the Pope, he's on quite the hot streak. Daddy Donny must be proud as punch.

Artist Barbara Warren's paintings contain a meditative quality, occasionally incorporating dreamlike elements. Her elongated human figures – passive, reflective and largely faceless – communicated her recurring theme of loneliness and alienation.

This was fascinating! I am working on provenance research at the moment and struggling because items that found their way into collections abroad are catalogued inaccurately. Former owners who would be well-known by Irish cataloguers don't ring bells for UK and American cataloguers!
