More on Dismaland

[David Morris]

BTW, I DON'T LIKE IT (pop art).

I like sensual art. But that is disvalued now, unless it was done by
Picasso or Van Gough.

Is there a new art revolution in the wings? A new Zietghiest? It will
probably point to a new thing to be feared, another warning about a
bad future for us all. It's been a long time since art has been optimistic
and celebratory. But sensual art needn't be optimistic.  It can be
dreadful.  Glib needn't rule.
