Opening a conversation with paintings and sculptures from the 16th
Century to the present, this second collection by Nigel Hutchinson
displays all his hallmark wit and insight. Artists as diverse and
Brueghel (elder and younger), Lautrec, Paul Nash, Barbara Hepworth and
Cezanne find themselves taking a skewed but searching view of the points
at which life and art rub together, sometimes harmoniously, sometimes
with greater friction. Humane, wry, always spirited, Do Not Enter
Alarmed Area is a testament to the power of both words and images.
