The Condo craze takes off in London town. Boobies, nipples, and the like, women from planet of the 
apes. Here is what those male painters worship, the references to classical painting, the lack of skill 
or technique, the grindhouse truth of adolescents. Condo, infamous for his portrait of the Queen 
shown at the Tate, continue with cartoony takes on the canon. The only part that struck my eye was 
the deep hued backgrounds and the repetition of the poses struck by the figures.
