Jonathan Green once preferred hogs over painting. ``I didn't see what I could do as that special or unique,'' Green said. ``I just knew I could do it. Art became common to me. I was really more interested in farming.'' His inkling to put on overalls and slop Durock pigs took place during his high-school life while in the Future Farmers of America. Fate, however, had a different plan.

Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, Royal Academy of Arts, London BP Portrait Award, National Portrait Gallery, London
I'd guess that the kind of work favoured by Turner Prize judges represents a tenth of Britain's artistic output, the other nine-tenths being pictures of Venice or pears on plates.

So the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition does at least ...
