This is called 'Sussex river' by Ivon Hitchens and it is in an exhibition at Pallant House Gallery. Just one question. Why?!!

For myself, these days, and I stress these day you cannot define what art is and is not. The artist makes the art and there it is. The best we can do is define what we feel is art for ourselves and leave the rest out of it. Should we say “Judge not, lest we be judged.”  Thank you Jenny for that fine assessment.

Being serious, regardless of who he was or what he was, just judging that picture as it stands it does not, in my opinion, deserve a place in a prestigious exhibition.
