<p><font size="1">Demon Drink: George Cruikshank's <i>The Worship
of Bacchus</i> <br>
@ Tate Britain <br>
Millbank<br>
London SW1 <br>
24 May - 2 December 2020 <br>
Open daily 10.00 - 17.50 <br>
Admission Free <br>
<br>
While slightly overweight 30-something single wanna-be Bridget Jones
all over the world reach for another glass of chardonnary, the topic
of getting drunk in England has never been more of a hot potato
with the long awaited change in ancient licensing laws. <br>
<br>
It's with this is mind, that I took myself (and my slightly hangover
head) down to the Tate Britain today for a preview of an excellent
witty and thought provoking exhibition by a nineteenth century artist
and teetotaler George Cruikshank focusing on his vast canvas <i>The
Worship of Baccus</i>, which hasn't been exhibited for over a century.<br>
<br>
I guiltily accepted a glass of wine and wandered through to take
a look at Cruikshank's massive masterpiece, hoping it might help
me in my quest not to regularly find myself accidentally with a
half shandy at 6.30pm when I'd promised myself an alcohol free day
(you know the story). <br>
<br>
The canvas has been cleaned and restored (with alcohol!) and is
a intriguing look into the drinking values of our Victoria ancestors,
and is now considered to be one of the most original and ambitious
works in the history of British arts. A series of other prints are
also on display, depicting the evils of drink in an age where beer
was believed to be non-intoxicating, nursing mothers were encouraged
to drink stout, and one fifth of London houses were gin shops. <br>
<br>
Cruikshank had a love-hate relationship with the bottle. He had
spent much of his youth revelling in the bars and pubs of Georgian
London, but had also seen his father, Isaac, die after a drinking
competition in 1811. The consumption of gin at this time was a very
real social problem. In an age where drinking water in cities was
considered more dangerous than alcohol (great excuse!!) George spent
the later part of his years canvassing the values of drinking tea.
</font></p>
<p><font size="1">It's well worth a look if you're on the trail of
a slightly more philosophical look at alcohol and society rather
than popping down to your local. Recent Home Office reports analyzing
the relationship between drink, crime and social corrosion, and
the continuing debate around alcohol and British culture, illustrate
the great relevance of Cruikshank's masterpiece for a twenty-first-century
audience. <i><font color="#FFFFFF">Michelle Smith</font></i> </font></p>
