disappointed by Hume at Tate Britain

He is a contemporary British artist, one of the Young British Artists, and so the Tate Britain, showed his work alongside Caulfield. Sadly, there is no comparison. Ok he does bright colour, painted like glass onto aluminium, which makes the colours cold and clear. But sadly his designs are so esoteric that only the absolutely educated art elite can interpret them. I enjoyed his textured flowers and the slightly angular snowman scultpure. But I think the emptiness of the gallery suggested I was not alone in my alientation from his artistic genius.
