The founder of the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow has little use for modern art. “I have met plenty of people who have told me that I ought to like modern art. There is some place for ‘ought’ in life, but none at all in art; art is a gift, not a duty. A benighted view of art has a stranglehold on the few who choose what little art we are aloud to see. And the public acquiesce, because what else can they compare it with? It is one of the most pernicious myths of modern art that we have discovered the great art of our age when, in fact, we have hardly begun to look for it.”
