From: Eva Category: Art Date: 29 December 2007 Time: 09:57 AM Review: Didn't the structure of the show really irritate you? The whole 'great family of man' style truisms about painters dealing with life, death, work, play and all that shit? The room headings could easily be applied to a number of art histories since the 1960s. Like reading someone else's horoscope to see how easily what's said can be applied to anyone and anything I imagined the works in the 'Leisure and Everyday Life' section being put into the 'Work' section, or the 'Modern Individuals' or 'Family and Friends' section and realised that the whole thing was totally interchangeable and meaningless. The work itself was o-kay but mostly bland bland bland, boring boring boring, with some nice touches.
