Warhol 

In his time, Gustave Courbet battled against received normative aesthetics and wanted to paint anything and everything — more than just ’things of beauty’. Warhol, too, would explore anything and everything for its value as pictorial material.  

His exhibition at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm in 1968 bore the title, ‘ALL IS PRETTY’. For me, against the backdrop of art informel, Warhol was a revelation.

When I saw Martin Barré’s (Nantes 1924 - Paris 1993) work for the first time in Paris in 1982 I was taken aback by the simple and brutal quality of the spray works. The vitality of the material as tool and idea was not just an eyeopener but has proven to be an ongoing influence.
