I went to the Van Doesburg exhibition at the Tate Modern. Very good with a lot of interesting work. I really liked the films they had on, Le Ballet Mechanique was particularly good. My favourite of Van Doesburg’s work is the painting Composition (The Cow), above. I was drawn to it straight away, maybe because of the colours. It showed both the initial drawing and the painting. You could really recognise the neck and head of the cow munching on the grass- I couldn’t stop looking at it! I liked that he had abstracted it, but not gone so far as to make it completely unrecognisable.
