I hate to contradict you, Tango, but Vincent van Gogh wrote more explanations about his art in his many hundreds of letters, most of which survive, than just about any other artist I can think of.

I'm hostile to the obscurantist. You must see that a lot of writing about art falls into this category? There has been a lot of talk about 'artspeak' or 'International Art English' in the last couple of years as a backlash against the situation. Let me try this press release on a Koons egg on you: ...

What are we debating?

Is there really some doubt over whether a huge amount of overwrought nonsense is written about art today?

Just watch all of Alistair Gentry's videos! http://vimeo.com/alistairgentry" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Did they make you wear a plastic bib, Bobo? I've seen a few photos of people there accompanying their similarly glowing reviews, but haven't made it there myself yet. Did you have to wait long?

Also, I just went to RAWK to see if I could find their thread on it: Firstly, didn't realise they had a specific Hillsbrough memorial board. :vomit: Secondly, they have a list of 'allowed' sources when quoting. I shit you not. Obvs the Sun is out. Here's the list :shock: http://www.redandwhitekop.c...

:oops: I'm uncrediting Tango then! TBF, all good parody has a ring of truth to it. There are definitely people who come out with pseudo-intellectual shite like that when talking about modern art, and I think people are put off by it. I had to read the following post to be sure... but that made it a...

I fear this has now been built up into something that the facts of what was said might not support. He showed no signs of appreciating Emin's art, but, after connecting her traumatic life experiences with work his wife does, seemed to think that she perhaps shouldn't be condemned for her output aft...

Interesting... I suspect I'm too junior for them to think me worth searching for, but good to know nonetheless!

Thanks for your kind words, Will - glad you and your friends and family enjoyed it.

Still... that's some vision and political skill to get the package together to take the Tour de France so far out of France, and not just to a capital city for a corporate photo opportunity.

Who is responsible for the coup of taking it to Yorkshire?

I know I shouldn't bother, but it makes me mad that innocent folk die in their thousands due to this lunacy. Yep. It's so unnecessary. And GtE, I thought about going with that, but then I got angry! I must have it wrong. Not long back you were handling a gun at the family shoot-up. Did it make you ...

Messy Bed. £2.2m... The world's gone fcuking mad. £2.5million including the buyer's premium. As I say, as famous memorabilia, that seems cheap. I thought it might do £3million. As ever, things not all as they seem in the art world, however. The winning bidder was Jay Jopling, founder owner of the W...

Cultural capital is an interesting one. In the land of the culturally blind, it's amazing how much otherwise very much more senior people will defer to someone with some artsy knowledge and contacts.

As I say, I am baffled. Not real enough to be awkward, not funny enough to be funny. Perhaps it lost a lot as an iTunes home rental on the laptop instead of seeing it in the cinema. See, I can't foresee any circumstance, not even being cooped up in a foreign hotel room, whereby I'd watch a film on ...

I liked Goodfellas and I have liked other Scorsese films like King of Comedy. I'm intrigued as to why General rates it so highly. Some searching suggests you liked the speeches and his coworkers' reactions. Let's take this one for example - it encapsulates all my complaints. Not real, not funny inst...

The New Statesman (of all publications) picked up on something that really irritated me - the narration: The Wolf of Wall Street has energy but only of the narrowest sort; a viewer not cheered by the spectacle of young men being brutally hedonistic will find it unedifying to say the least. Belfort ...

I just felt disappointed by Wolf of Wall Street, being a huge Scorcese fan I was expecting a lot more. It also think it could have done with losing about half an hour. I have been a Scorsese fan but not a big one. But I am a bid DiCaprio fan and I am fascinated by big fraud stories - I found a biog...

I'm surprised at the Harris verdict. When you look at what he was charged with, it does seem amazing that they have proved this stuff beyond reasonable doubt: - Count One: A woman said Harris touched her inappropriately when she was just seven or eight while he was signing autographs in Hampshire in...
