A modest proposal: In the first phase of the ceasefire deal, Hamas is to hand over 33 hostages in return for 1,900 Palestinian prisoners. The currency seems to be 58 prisoners per hostage. If Hamas is now handing over 4 corpses, surely it's only fair that Israel executes 232 prisoners?

'Seated female nude.' (1920/21) Mainie Jellett's teachers included William Orpen, Walter Sickert, André Lhote and Albert Gleizes. It was under the latter two, she became an ardent advocate of Cubism, despite criticism, she persevered and came to be seen as a leading Modernist painter.

'Nude With White Towel.' (1963) You could be forgiven for believing that Euan Uglow’s works are exact representations into the physiognomy and character of the sitter. Uglow stated: 'I’m painting an idea not an ideal… I won’t let chance be there unless it’s challenged.’

I thought I knew all of Warhol's LP cover designs, from the 1950s classical and jazz albums, through the Banana album and Sticky Fingers, to less-wonderful 1980s designs like Aretha (1986), but I didn't know this one, and I totally love it. 'This Is John Wallowitch!!!' (1964.)

I for one am amazed that Keir Starmer, five months after winning a 170 seat majority, has not called a fresh election after acceding to a random petition. Shameful stuff. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/keir-s...
