Whilst I absolutely agree with the general thrust
nevertheless the Daily Telegraph as a source of
comment about the arts ( or anything for that matter)
should be treated with caution.
It's the paper of the huntin',shootin' and fishin'
classes, the ones who still haven't grasped the fact
that Empire is over and who probably find Van Gogh a
little avant garde.
