Great Independent interview with maverick, Robert Hughes, the worlds most renowned art critic who has just written a book about Goya.
“I think he [Goya] is genuinely anti-war, anti- the degradation caused by war, which is a function of human desire for cruelty, which is at least as deep-rooted as mankind’s desire for sex”.
Hughes is a superb writer and a no-bullshit critic, with a distaste for the fashion driven whims of the art world, so I can’t wait for Hughes’ next book which is about my old boss, Norman Foster.
