The only seriously serious (and therefore often funny) art magazine in England, David Lee's The Jackdaw. Has first-rate editorials, often denouncing state-art and the tax-payer salaried, state-art racketeers, from Chairman-in-Perpetuity, Nicholas Serota downwards.
Great post. I like the wide range of subjects covered in your stack.
I lol-ed at 'instinctively recognised as a scam'. So true.
I might add something about skill or craft. I know it's deeply unfashionable to consider skill or craft in art, but that is one of my rules of thumb.
The other is whether the art conveys some kind of meaning. Which is admittedly a bit more subjective.
Thanks, Mrs S. I was really taken with that tweet, and the Rockwell abstract expressionism picture was just right.
