Evidently talent has had its day, in the view of some influential members of the Art Priesthood. So, it seems, has beauty. British philosopher Roger Scruton describes post modernism as portraying the human world as unbeautiful and unlovable. Art historian Simon Schama speaks of modern art’s curses of cleverness and novelty.
Thank you Teo.
This topic is very interesting and so true.
I love Bateman and all that he stands for, and his paintings are beautiful.
Love,
