At a reform school for juvenile offenders, you might expect that an art class could be therapeutic, but most wouldn’t expect it to produce a large amount of wuality work. But at one such school in the UK, Rupert Christiansen’s expectations were dashed. “One would have expected more violence and neurosis, more splurges of abstract expressionism. I saw one copy of Munch’s The Scream, but otherwise the dominant aesthetic mood is oddly cheerful… I’ve no doubt that the persistent could earn places at art college. It is impossible not to be moved, impressed and heartened.”
