Amy Winehouse Rehab




They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black and when I come back, you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I’m fine
They tried to make me go to rehab I won’t go, go, go

I’d rather be at home with Ray
I ain’t got seventy days
Cos there’s nothing,there's nothing you can teach me
That I can’t learn from Mr Hathaway

Didn’t get a lot in class
But I know it don’t come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black and when I come back, you'll know know know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I’m fine
They tried to make me go to rehab I won’t go, go, go

The man said "why do you think you here?"
I said "I got no idea"

I’m gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
So I always keep a bottle near
He said "I just think you’re depressed"
Kiss me, here baby and go rest

They tried to make me go to rehab I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black but when I come back,you'll know, know, know

I don’t ever want to drink again
I just, ooh just need a friend
I’m not gonna spend ten weeks
Have everyone think I’m on the mend

It’s not just my pride
It’s just till these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black and when I come back, you'll know know know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I’m fine
They tried to make me go to rehab I won’t go, go, go.

Francis Picabia - Sotileza -1928


Francis Picabia -  Sotileza [Subtlety]
  • Gouache on paper
  • Size 75.70 x 55.70 cm
  • Scottish National Gallery

  • This is one of Picabia's 'Transparency' paintings, in which several different images are layered on top of one another. There are three interpenetrating but distinct layers: the Spanish lady in a lace mantilla depicted in a deliberately kitsch style; an outline drawing of a matador in full costume; and a simplified representation of a Madonna, crowned in the Catalan Romanesque style. The obvious connecting link between all three figures is their Spanishness. Picabia's father was Spanish. The layering of images may be intended to provide the visual equivalent to memory and the stream of consciousness. The combination of apparently opposing styles and themes is typical of Picabia's work.

Distortion No. 6, 1932
André Kertész (American, born Hungary, 1894–1985)
Gelatin silver print


Kertész accentuated the narrow ribcage and long waist of the ideal contemporary woman by photographing his model in a carnival mirror. If the top half of this beautiful nude resembles those Modigliani painted, the swell of the haunch recalls Mannerist nudes and their nineteenth-century revivals, especially Ingres' grande odalisque.

Nicolas Poussin




Rinaldo and Armida (c 1630) 


This scene comes from an epic poem by the baroque Italian writer Torquato Tasso celebrating the Crusades – a great theme for the counter-reformation renewal of the church in the 16th and 17th centuries. Poussin portrays Armida, one of the epic's chivalric characters, about to stab the sleeping knight Rinaldo when Cupid stays her hand. The figures and action are bold and abstract, which invites us to see it as an allegory of loving reason holding back murderous passion

Cy Twombly   -  Quattro Stagioni: Autunno, 1993-5



Quattro Stagioni: Autunno, 1993-5




Tottering towers of colour, floating islands of colour, streams and rivulets of colour – the greatness of Cy Twombly as a painter lies in his architecture of colour and space. In this painting, the eruptions of heady purples and darkening greens hang in a huge empty void. That dazzling emptiness makes the chromatic flushes seem precious, intense and vulnerable


Ferragosto V, 1961
