What your Mother said !

Leafing through this morning I had a shock, I came upon this picture of an exhibition at the Leopold Museum in Vienna last year. Egon Schiele, brilliant. But hanging on those auspicious walls next to the works of one of Europe's finest draughtsmen were sheets covered in banal scribble! My heart went out to Egon, I remembered what my mother used to say to me, "Be careful, you will be known by the company you keep". But then I realised I had no need to be upset or concerned, Egon's reputation was in safe hands, the person in the photograph was after all the Professor of Drawing at the Royal Academy of Arts, that's good then!
