The Scream, starring Boris: Munch-style portrait of future mayor shows he had his trademark moptop even when he was FOUR
While Boris and the rest of his family squabble over the microphone, a less vocal member of the Johnson clan is to step into the spotlight.
Bojo’s artist mother Charlotte Johnson Wahl is launching a retrospective of her work at London’s Pall Mall galleries on Monday.
Retrospective: Portrait of Boris Johnson age four, painted by his artist mother Charlotte Johnson Wahl in 1968
Charlotte, 73, who suffers from Parkinson’s, is a student of Vorticism, the UK’s only home-grown modern art movement.
Among the exhibits is a Munch-style portrait of Boris age four, painted in 1968 when the family lived in the U.S. Even then, it appears the vainglorious London Mayor was fussing over his trademark ‘kitchen mop’ hairstyle.
Cheryl's got it wrong on body shame says Sophie
Speaking out: Popstar Sophie Ellis-Bextor
Following the backlash over her worryingly thin frame, singer Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has called for body-shaming to be made illegal.
But fellow pop star Sophie Ellis-Bextor — also a victim of body-shaming — disagrees. ‘I understand why Cheryl said it should be illegal, but really that’s the wrong approach because it’s a moral thing. You can’t ban what people say,’ Sophie, 36, tells me at the Scottish Fashion Awards.
‘Bullying in general is something we give a thumb down to. It’s not something that should be championed or encouraged and I don’t think it comes down to whether it should be legal or not legal.’
The former Strictly contestant, who is expecting her fourth child with husband Richard Jones in November, adds she was first affected by body-shaming at West London private school Godolphin and Latymer.
‘I’ve had it both ways — when I was at school, it would be fat comments, then when I grew up, it was that I was too thin. It’s just the world we live in.’
