		Ivan Massow : I'm looking for someone who has drawn their idea from their life's experiences and is passionate and is going to do it anyway.
		And I absolutely agree with Ivan, they have to have a passion in their heart for what they are doing and if all they want to do is make money they will inevitably fail but if they want to change the world a bit then they've got half a chance.
		Ivan Massow : Only their passion to be an entrepreneur or becoming a great artists, musician or academic is equally valid, fulfilling and beautiful.

	The Scotsman - S2 - How Ivan Massow hit the canvas
		Massow, the former chairman of London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts, was sacked by its governing council on Monday evening, following his vivid suggestion that the British arts world - and conceptual art in particular - was in danger of "disappearing up its own arse".
		In the wider world of art there are many voices in Massow’s favour - from Sir Anthony Caro (designer of the infamous wobbly bridge by Tate Modern) to Stuart Pearson Wright, who last year was awarded the title of BP national portrait artist of the year.
		Such is the life of the semi-celeb, Massow even spent Sunday evening at a party in the Tate Modern, in the company of Mick Jagger and interior designer Nicky Haslam.

	Great Britain
		As it stands Massow's comments are being widely heeded by the general art-conscious public, precisely because the ICA chairmanship is a select position falling within the gift of Britain's mainly government subsidized arts establishment, and the fact that Massow is an intimate member of it.
		And just how he is a bane I will seek to explain in support of Massow's general opinion regarding Britain's "terrifyingly powerful" arts establishment – something which I myself have had the chance of observing from the standpoint of being an independent nevertheless well-placed observer of the scene for almost thirty years.
		It takes the likes of an Ivan Massow to remind us that there is more of a world out there for art to be discovering and reporting upon than a restricted conceptualism allows.

		Massow and Wilcox eventually bought Dwyer out of the business, repaying her stake of £15,000, while the company went on to seal deals with Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons as it swept aside the rival challenges offered by the FreshBed and The Lean Team.
		For Massow, politics is a means to an end rather than an end in itself and once again he put himself forward, unsuccessfully, as a candidate in the 2005 London mayoral elections, this time as an independent.

		To our surprise, Mr Massow has singlehandedly called an end to the "pseudo-philosophy era" and since we are - for our sins - sincerely interested in the history of ideas, we must defer to the presiding wisdom of our executioner.
		We do admire Massow's concern for the masses, although we wonder whether his desire to obliterate art's apparent complexity is a solution to their alienation and exclusion.
		· Ivan Massow resigned as chairman of the ICA following a row over the art establishment's obsession with conceptual art; Jake and Dinos Chapman are favourites for the Turner Prize, the winner of which is announced tomorrow.

		"Massow's portrait is a highly personal exposition of how figurative art can in fact embrace provocative, modern concepts and yet retain its integrity to the craft of painting.
		Massow is shown nude before and after a three month diet.
		The portrait's glazy, highly finished paint surface and general naturalism is that of main stream western painting, as is the concept of a formal portrait commission initiated by the sitter: the idea of publically de-robing in a so personal and so autobiographical manner, however, is not."
