I was upset last year to go into Tate Britain (not Tate Modern) and find it full of Damien Hurst shite, and no sign of Draper's 'Icarus' or Waterhouse's 'St Eulalia', or much of the stuff from that era that used to draw me. Victorian Romanticsim and the Preraphaelites I could gaze at forever, but modernism and post-modernist junk just makes me want to look away. I'm not at all interested by the cult of novelty and poor taste that masquerades as avant-garde art, or in the tedious pseudo-intellectual bullshit that is used to justify it.
