Tate Britain director defends museum against accusations of ‘cancelling Hogarth’
Tate Britain director defends museum against accusations of ‘cancelling Hogarth’
Critics round on exhibition’s alternative interpretations of Hogarth paintings, describing them as "wokeish drivel" 24/11/2021 Tate Britain in London has defended the approach taken in its Hogarth and Europe exhibition (until 20 March 2022) following a wave of criticism focused on wall labels written by contemporary commentators, which one critic described as “wokeish drivel”. The museum’s director, Alex Farquharson, tells The Art Newspaper that “Tate Britain has both the confidence to provide a public platform for those conversations and the expertise to contribute to them directly.” https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2021...elling-hogarth |
