Quote by Charles Thomson

The result of walking round Tate Modern is not an experience of the marvel of creative profundity which gives meaning to life, but more akin to the detritus of a dryly analytical bureaucrat reverting to an infantile stage during an extended breakdown.


The result of walking round Tate Modern is not an experience

Summary

This quote suggests that a visit to Tate Modern, a renowned contemporary art museum, does not inspire a sense of profound creativity and meaning in life. Instead, it likens the experience to the scattered remnants left behind by a highly analytical bureaucrat suffering from a prolonged mental breakdown, regressing to a childish state. In other words, the quote criticizes the lack of transformative impact and artistic depth that the museum supposedly provides, presenting a rather negative view of the experience.
