Now first of all I have to congratulate Rose Wylie at 80 years old, for the recognition she has received, but although I am a lover of art, and modern art in particular, I just cannot see the merit in her stuff that warranted this award.
She says herself, that it is only in recent years that she has gained this recognition, and cannot understand why, as she has been painting in the same way for many years before.
It seems if you come up with enough verbal background bollox for an artist's inspiration for a given style and content, it eventually catches on and imparts some kind of added value to the work.
I visited an exhibition of modern art in Exeter recently, knowing very little about the artists themselves beforehand, and was knocked out by many of the paintings and collages on display. The BBC report is the first time I have actually seen Wylie's work and it left me rather underwhelmed. Sorry Rose.
Be interested in anyone else's comments, and if anyone on BBS actually paints art stuff, it would be good to see it posted on here.
