By the middle of the 19th century, Manchester had become one of England’s most important centers of manufacturing. It had also developed a notable cultural and intellectual life that it has retained to this day. This list highlights five paintings worth seeing in Manchester (though none of the artists were from that city).
Earlier versions of the descriptions of these paintings first appeared in 1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die

Nude 54 (1954)
Painter and sculptor Peter Lanyon was born in the small English seaside town of St. Ives in Cornwall, an area that had attracted painters since the late 1800s. Yet when pioneering artists Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, and Naum Gabo settled there in the late 1930s, it was placed firmly on the progressive art map.

The second horseman rides a red horse and wields “a great sword…to take peace from the earth.” The third rides a black horse and carries a “pair of balances,” apparently heralding famine but equally likely, as it seems to me, justice. The fourth horseman rides a pale horse and is identified as Death, “and Hell followed with him.”

“In our “time and setting,” one might think that we are witnessing the last days of the American Republic, following massive electoral fraud, the suppression of facts by the media, the ubiquitous practice of censorship by the tech platforms, and the (so far) pusillanimous refusal of the courts to rectify the greatest electoral scandal, by several orders of magnitude, since the defeat of Andrew Jackson in the “corrupt bargain” of 1824.”
Given the cultural forces that have been at work undermining the joists and beams of the nation, the impending calamity comes as no surprise. The four horsemen are riding again, and their names are Feminism, Climate, COVID-19, and the Democratic Party.
