It’s always nice to read about artists who have made there mark as a teacher too. Sean O’Hagan writes about Michael Craig Martin for the Observer, in advance of his solo show at the Royal Academy.
“That’s when I learned what I later passed on to my students in my years as a teacher. You have to use what you’ve got. You cannot try to become something you’re not. The people who work in that painterly way are doing what is natural to them. If you are struggling to try to do the same, even with the best will in the world, it ain’t gonna work.”
