Pottery artist Grayson Perry, who creates vases depicting subjects like death and child abuse, has won this year's Turner Prize. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/arts/3298707.stm) "The prize stirs an annual debate about the merits of often shocking modern art, and what constitutes good art. Controversial br*thers Jake and Dinos Chapman had been the bookmakers' favourites. One of their nominated works, titled Sex, was a sculpture depicting bodies being picked at by maggots. Another, called Death, was a bronze sculpture of a pair of blow-up dolls engaged in a sex act on a lilo."
Widdowson: Whatever one may think of this kind of art, future art historians will not be impressed. They will regard the pinnacle of western civilization as being achieved some 200-400 years ago, judging it by such issues as skill, effort and costliness of materials. Art historians similarly speak of late Roman sculpture as being crude, and of late Mayan pottery as displaying 'an unhealthy creative spirit'.Soviel wieder einmal zum Thema moderne Kunst.
