Peace, Burial at Sea - Joseph Turner (1842) (media.tate.org.uk)
The 1840s saw Turner experimenting with square canvases. He shaped some, as here, into octagons. A pair to War, hanging nearby, it depicts the funeral of his friend, the artist David Wilkie. Wilkie died of typhoid in 1841 as he returned from the Middle East. Fearful the disease would spread, the Governor of Gibraltar refused to...

Robin - Augustus John (1918) (media.tate.org.uk)
Robin was the third son of Augustus John and his wife Ida; he was eight when this portrait was painted. John often used his family as models, particularly for his less conventional work. In this intimate study, the boy’s long tousled hair suggests both freedom and ambiguity of gender. The close-up perspective also disturbs the...

The Acrobat Schulz V - Albert Birkle (1921) (media.tate.org.uk)
Fountain - by Marcel Duchamp (1917) (media.tate.org.uk)
Let’s begin with the obvious: Duchamp’s Fountain really was a urinal. Not a painting or sculpture of a urinoir – though the latter might raise interesting philosophical questions – but the real thing, a token of a particular type – there were many visually indistinguishable urinals that came off the same production...
