Pierre Bonnard, Mental Health Nonsense
Art
An exhibition of paintings by Pierre Bonnard, (1867 – 1947) the French post-impressionist, went on view at the Tate Modern in January. It was sponsored by a Hong Kong property company whose VIP guests attended a preview. One was heard asking a curator if she could meet the artist.
Mental Health
Students get bubble wrap to ease stress.
A report in the Times, 21.1.2019, outlined the measures that Bristol University was taking in order that the bubble wrap “act as a signpost to the wellbeing drop-ins organised by the library services team, for anyone who has mental health and wellbeing concerns.”
However some students then became more stressed because of the wrap’s impact on the environment. The student union stated, “Sustainability is important to us which is why the bubble wrap being offered is being refused.”
Not to be outdone the University of East Anglia revealed plans to introduce dog walking to improve wellbeing while Teeside University is handing out adult colouring books and pens.
