I can’t summon the strength to feel righteously indignant. It’s just not my type of category. If you asked me to name my 50 favourite paintings they’re mostly going to be depressive or at least melancholic. Good art is often, maybe usually, pretty downbeat because it cuts to the core of what it means to be human, warts and all. Give me Picasso’s Blue period not his fucking Rose period.
