Modern Art And Me
I went to the Tate Modern to see the Richard Hamilton exhibition.
I was not impressed with it, although some of his ideas were interesting in their concept.
Perhaps, I’m a Philistine, but I can’t help feeling there’s a lot of Emperor’s new clothes syndrome about some modern art. And how much is driven by the need to make money by dealers?
On the other hand, there are pieces of modern art that I like, such as Puppy in Bilbao. I also feel strongly, that art should be available to all and not hidden away in galleries that charge or private places.

Completely agree with you James. I have enjoyed some art installations – the Cow Parade, Lambananas etc were lots of fun, and the things which have happened in Liverpool with the massive puppets are also fun. But some of it is weird and incomprehensible to me, and I suspect to many others as well; it is just that I am not afraid to admit it

[…] Or perhaps he or she knows more about modern art that I do. […]
