Small is Sometimes Beautiful / Glover, Michael; Phillips T., 2006

 Item
Identifier: CC-45926-48628
Scope and Contents

This is an unfavorable review of Tom Phillips' exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford England. The Sackners attended this exhibition entitled "A micro-retrospective." The critic found fault with the artistic merits of A Humument "...the abstract designs do not particularly excite us, the combination of colours do not strike as particularly inspired, the philosophical tags strike us as just a mite pretentious." The critic writes favorably about Phillips portrait paintings not shown in this exhibition. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Graham-Dixon concludes his unfavorable review of Phillips' exhibition at the Royal Academy of Art in London November 1992, viz., "Phillips is a fine writer (if anyone doubts this, they should read his translation of Dante's Inferno) who has got the idea into his head that he has some talent for painting. His tragedy is that of a man who has, quite unaccountably, mistaken his vocation." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
