My point is that the Stuckists as an entity – certainly as a word – only exist in response to conceptualists and YBAs such as Hirst.

I can assure you that I was not in the slightest annoyed by Hirst at this time, as I had never heard of him.Charles Thomsonhttp://www.stuckism.com/thomsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18775356.post-3207683369121832832012-10-18T06:46:58.169+01:002012-10-18T06:46:58.169+01:00'Craftsman' is the word that leaps out at ...'Craftsman' is the word that leaps out at me there, and my trouble with recent modern art is that it's often just an idea and then a craftsman's job to realise that idea. I could have done that, with a little training, and I have no talent in the visual arts whatsoever. I've searched to see if Verity is 'cast from life' - which would indeed make it largely a craftsman's job - but haven't found any info on that. When 'artists' do this they struggle to make themselves worthy of the name and have to rely of pathetic shock value instead. The statue doesn't look particularly attractive to me, for what that's worth, but if the good folk of Ilfracombe like it then no harm done.Gadjo Dilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998278830936531990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18775356.post-36930372305561262582012-10-18T03:04:11.203+01:002012-10-18T03:04:11.203+01:00shark guy, right?
