I'm not even qualified to comment on the amazing work of Harry Benson, who we were fortunate enough to encounter in an exhibit at the Kelvingrove Art Museum & Gallery in Glasgow. I've been familiar with his work thanks to Vanity Fair, but his entire body of work represented in the exhibit is positively amazing. I also did not know until today that he is a Glasgow native. In addition to his amazing international entertainment and political work, his local Glasgow work was so indicative of this pretty city. Unfortunately, the catalog was sold out so we have only our memories, what we find on the Web, etc. to remember it by.
I think the SIS and BIS would never have forgiven us had we been in Glasgow and not partaken of this exhibit. And they would have been correct. We were lucky enough to stumble across it and are now actively pursuing procuring a print. The Dolly Parton if we can get it. Don't scoff until you see it. Positively beautiful.
