3. The Blood Must Continue to Flow, Norman Rosenthal
“Art is not just about making a vision; it is also about imposing that vision on others.” (9)
“It is natural and easy to fall in love with what is preconceived to be right and proper, good or beautiful.” (10)
“the chief task of new art is to disturb that sense of comfort.” (10)
Edouard Manet, Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe, 1863

4. Everyone a Winner! Selected British Art From The Saatchi Collection 1987-97, Martin Maloney

5. Damien Hirst
“This work came to be seen in the popular mind as a symbol of advanced art; overcoming an initial distrust of its ease of assembly, people became fascinated by how ordinary things of the world could be placed so as to be seen as beautiful.” (33)
Isolated Elements Swimming in the Same Direction for the Purpose of Understanding, 1991

6. Marcus Harvey
“His painting of the iconic image of the bouffanted blonde '60s child-killer Myra Hindley, made of repeated printings of children's hands, put pain into Pointillism.” (32)
Myra, 1995

7. Chris Ofili
“Decorating his surfaces with excessive patterns, using collage techniques borrowed from folk art, Ofili's multi- layered approach challenged the rules of good taste by a skilful combination of eclectic elements.” (29)
The Holy Virgin Mary, 1996

8. Sam Taylor-Wood
Wrecked, 1996
“Like a modern-day Hogarth she pictured an after-the-party scene, giving a high-class, high-pitched quality to domestic affairs within a narrative” (33)
