In Art news, Patricia Comell gave away £3m art of ‘the Ripper’ . I normally follow photography, but my wife is intested in murder novels, Jack the Ripper, and art. Hmm.... maybe she was...

Cornwell was drawn to the idea that Sickert, noted for his scenes of London life, might have been the Ripper because he painted macabre scenes and was interested in the murders.
