Hockney on photography. Just started.

Thought I'd mention it as I haven't seen anyone post about it.

No one watch it?

Ah well, you missed a treat.

Repeated at 12.30am (tonight-ish), 8am and 2pm tomorrow. I've sky+'d it but I suspect it'll be a bit high brow for me.

Watched 5 mins of it this morning. As I suspected, way too high brow for me. They were talking about a picture of a chair (which didn't look much to me) and I really didn't have a clue what they were wittering on about. I either like a photo or I don't. I don't tend to go in to the philosophical meaning of it!!

Yeah one bloke was up his own rear, but the artist himself was explaining how he saw each image. It was interesting from a technical side if it.

I hate when snobbish critics decide something has some special meaning and waffle on for decades to justify their job/existence. If an artist is honest and not full of themselves it makes it much more interesting
