A free exhibition, and a jolly way to pass an hour or so. Satyrs, witches, devils and so on; many variations on the monstrous/taboo and much allegory were the flavour of the collection. Goya was the name that got me through the door, and I liked the line drawings of his that were on display; less exciting were the Picassos and the William Blake watercolours. Of the rest, I particularly liked the whimsical, abstracted 'glove' series of Max Klinger (which reminded me very much of Edward Gorey's stuff), the fluid renditions of scenes from Goethe's Faust by Eugene Delacroix (curated under 'Romanticism', and I can see why), and Louise Hearman's dark charcoal works (the eyes, the eyes).
