 Brian does need to chill out on David Hockney in his review of the RA show:


"Hockney is a vulgar prankster, trivialising not only a painting that he is incapable of understanding and could never execute, but in involving him in the various parodies, demeaning Picasso too."


Then again,  this is the man that got jumped by some rude-boys on the underground in 2004 and said of it:


"Did the boy have a knife? At no point did I see it, but its threatened use was real enough and ingeniously morbid in its echo of Plantagenet murder and Jacobean tragedy"
