Christopher Le Brun: "Now Turn the Page: The Role of Poetry in Painting"

[@edwardwhittaker5728]

It is a great pity he does not discuss any current painting. He does not mention the precedents of his style - TWOMBLY, Johns or Richter, (or Gary Hume, Claire Woods or Fiona Rae as near contemporaries)...only Turner, Reynolds etc.. No wonder he is the President of the RA......... He sounds like an aesthetic (and political?) conservative.
