Did you ever in your career get down to what was then W.S.C.A.D at Farnham? I started as a Foundation student there in 1975. We had the most brilliant tutors and visiting lecturers.

Bob Appleton said… - John, I remember taking your Art History class at Alexandra Palace in 1975 - a small lecture room on a balcony above the studios if I remember correctly. Art Since Pop must have been just published.
My personal argument at the time was that as artists we didn't need art history. if we expressed the present, then there was nothing more we could do. And although I still believe that, I see now how historians and philosophers influenced my now from the beginning "lerning is a slo proces" (as Billy Bunter might have said).
So perhaps now with this link from Shaun Belcher, I can retake the class ;)

Rob Van Beek said… - I absolutely take your point about giving up self-censorship.
I find myself desperate to try things out and sod the consequencies. Good stuff emerges, as you say.
Yes, a lot of art historical works had an iconological background that would have been dead familar to its audience.
But that makes the narrative content redundant and unobtrusive, transparent.
The difficulty with unfamiliar narrative paintings is they involve a kind of mundane puzzle-solving which can be at odds with other aspects looking at work.
Apologies for responding sooner. I kinda lost track of where these comments were made...ROB
