Okay, now we're on hate lists, I can't keep quiet. And you know I'm not a
stick-in-the-mud kind of guy, right. But...
Cindy Sherman.
Oh God, I hate her stuff so bad.
And, hate is too strong a word, but while I enjoyed THE BALLAD OF SEXUAL
DEPENDENCY, Nan Goldin's work appears to have degenerated into a bunch of
self-generating cliches from the hinterlands of various tedious subcultures
that we're meant to find 'interesting' per se. Not me.
And let's not get me started on Helmut Newton, per-lease.
But, just to cleanse my mind, let me say one name I love.
Robert Adams!
