My name is Maurice Saatchi. And not many people know that you know.

Saatchi is a Shakespeare derivative

Just been watching School of Saatchi episodes, got one to go, and it's all well and good for those of us who don't like to pretend that art is politics or is somehow more revolutionary than revolution, in other words, since its emergence not too long ago in history, a few hundred years ago, all art has been Bourgeois Art, and it still is, which is not saying it doesn't act with the breaks at, or near, the top, but if we were to look at this in another way, and I'm not saying we need to, then are there not times in history too when artists, following like they do, but in a leading kind of way, and not far behind the real radicals, align themselves to that new or latent potential order, for example between the 16th and 17th centuries in England didn't the most creative, unconsciously or openly, make work which reflected the concerns and excitements of the dangerous undercurrent of that period, the merchants, the traders, the individualists, whether they really wanted to or not?
