PORTRAITS AS WELL AS LANDSCAPES ARE OUT OF FASHION.

PORTRAITS AS WELL AS LANDSCAPES ARE OUT OF FASHION. I posted here about Jackie Wullschlager’s observation in the Financial Times in 2009 that: “Landscape in 20th and 21st century art is less than unfashionable––it has dropped off the radar screen.” Caroline Daniel has an interview with David Hockney in the Financial Times (October 12-13) in which Hockney discusses his recent exhibits of portraits and landscapes. Hockney says: “…they say in the art world, you can’t do landscape or portraits now….The idea you couldn’t do landscape implies we’re bored of nature. It’s not possible, really. It’s from nature that new things come, isn’t it?’
