Could you elaborate in what way you think context affects a comparison with the greats?
No, because I'm on holiday and the last thing I need is an art debate! Also, because the absurdity of discrediting contemporary art and artists by a comparison with Raphael and Bach (both of whom I agree are great) speaks for itself. Personally I think context is everything. Technical virtuosity does not equal cultural relevance.
Urgh, my apologies everyone. Beth Ditto is immense, Discuss.
