Kind of- the Museum of 11 October in Prilep, Macedonia, where the uprising against fascist occupation began.

Yeah, I thought it would be somewhere like that. It does look kinda Balkan/eastern European.

I quite like some of the art from former communist countries, particularly when it's loaded with political imagery.

Edward Baird Unidentified Aircraft 1942 (it's on show at the Kelvingrove- the first painting that really capitvated me)

the town behind the figures is Montrose where the artist was born. I've seen a similar picture without the figures in it.

Monros 1939, in Aberdeen Art Gallery

I gotta say, Montrose looks far cooler in these paintings than it does in real life.

(don't forget this was the pre-Glaxo, pre-oil basin, post-fishing Montrose of the 1920s and 1930s. The old road bridge across the River South Esk that's depicted in both was actually demolished in 1926, to make way for the concrete bridge which was demolished in 2005). So that's a giveaway that it's an imaginary view. It's taken from near the old Craig primary school in the hills above Ferryden- when you go and look for yourself Montrose is much wider and much less concentrated.

The Tennis Party by John Lavery. 

I once worked with Lavery's great great (or something) niece. She was quite posh and had a nice arse. Yes, wid. No, I don't have pics so I'll have to GTF. 

A corker indeed and is actually a very common image- it hung in several pubs that I worked in in London, in the 90s.

Not as good as Woman on a Safety Tricycle by the same painter. From memory, both these images were painted in Helensburgh.
