Sir Anthony Caro: kindly but combative. Photograph: Eamonn McCabe for the Guardian
As a pupil at St Martin’s School of Art in the late 1960s, I typically experienced the kindly but combative tutorial design of Anthony Caro. When Richard Long said that he had been on a stroll and considered it was a sculpture, Caro was in no doubt: “You are far as well intelligent to believe that, Richard.” When a student work was pronounced “intriguing”, Caro was outraged. “Artwork is not interesting,” he bellowed. He never ever settled for the just cerebral but expected a sculpture to also engage him emotionally, physically and viscerally. At a seminar offered by the conceptual artist Joseph Kosuth, Caro informed him: “You happen to be contemplating about H2O and I’m taking a bath.” Caro’s actual influence was not in the robustness of his views, but in the good quality of his function, such as the excellent 60s painted performs Prairie, Month of Might and Early A single Morning.
