The Great Art Muster
THIS IS NOT AN ARTIST STATEMENT
It’s impossible not to be influenced by art history. Therefore to celebrate this and pay homage to artists that have stirred my risotto, I give you THE GREAT ART MUSTER.
Profound regret that my old mates Goya, Kandinsky and Cezanne are unable to attend. Yet the whole shebang should be a hoot. Picasso is bringing a minotaur. Malchevich and Mondrian have been plying Moore with less and less. Van Gogh is off his medication. Da Vinci and Mona are arriving on his latest contraption. Elvis is gate crashing the show as Gilbert and George piss off the Pope.
