   'Earlier, from the Jesuits, Hughes had learned that "no matter what the   
   demands of 'self-expression' may be, nothing is anything without fully   
   articulate, conscious form." This conviction, coupled with his passionate   
   belief in the transcendent possibilities of art, permitted Hughes to evolve   
   over the years into modern art's most demanding critic. Deeply sympathetic   
   to "the hostile, nervy freedom from parental and religious authority   
   embodied by Surrealism," he nevertheless insisted that art had to be more   
   than "new" to be good, and over the years he came to be a fierce opponent of   
   the faddism to which the art world is so susceptible. He was strongly   
   influenced by the writing of Kenneth Clark, Cyril Connolly and, especially,   
   George Orwell, whose "direct use of the English language, in exposition and   
   in argument," and whose willingness to follow his own nose he emulated to   
   obvious and happy effect.'
