- Tracey Emin
The Stuckists are a group of British artists who formed as an alternative to the Young British Artists (also known as "Brit Art") being patronised by Charles Saatchi. Stuckism was co-founded by Billy Childish and Charles Thomson, and named by the latter after the above quote, which was directed to Childish by then-girlfriend Emin. The group are defined by their Stuckist Manifesto that places great importance on the values of traditional artistic skills over the popularity of "easy" installation pieces.
The Stuckists have become more active in recent years and have broadened their ideological basis. They even put forward a Stuckist canidate for the 2001 British General Election.
