2. Honore Daumier: Visions of Paris @ Royal Academy
Biting satirical cartoons look back over an influential artist who was willing to be daring and serve time in prison to highlight the inequities in Parisian society.

3. Unfixed: Meekyoung Shin @ Korean Cultural Centre

5. Stanley Spencer: Heaven in a Hell of War @ Somerset House
These war-time murals have been deftly lifted from their chapel home to be displayed in London. Excellently recreated at Somerset House, it’s a rare opportunity to see these paintings away from their natural home.
