My notion of beauty is stuck with the idea that form – the point of form – is the disclosure of new aspects.

- Art historian T.J. Clark in a severe, provocative, fascinating review of the recent exhibit Cult of Beauty - a survey of the Aesthetic Movement in England. The charms of the piece are well demonstrated by his depiction of the fevered works of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, where a “big-hair Astarte puffs her lips and stretches her serpent-in-the-garden neck, young ladies adjust their frocks, [while] tigers with roses purr beneath polystyrene skies.” (see above, Byam Shaw, Rising )
