The New Generation 1964
British painting seems suddenly to have taken on a new look-huge, vivid, and assured; and the painters themselves have some of the same characteristics.
Tonight in an Outside Broadcast from the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London, five men and a girl (all except one under thirty) face questions from an invited audience about what it is like to be a young artist in Britain 1964.
"Anything that moves quickly interests me - fast music, fast sport, old films speeded-up, quick wit".
"I leave my paintings untitled - intentionally. The thing about a title is it's too likely to conclude the meaning of the painting and to limit it to the meaning of the title".
"In my paintings I want to project extraordinary things as forcibly as possible, but ultimately so that they seem ordinary. I am not out to shock".
