Stuckism, the art movement founded by Tracey Emin's former boyfriend to oppose the pretensions of Britart, claims to advocate "honest, uncensored expression".
Unfortunately, the Daily Mail does not appear to share those values, and has sacked one of its leading writers, who claims her sideline as a Stuckist painter did not conform to the paper's high moral tone.
Jane Kelly, who has worked for the paper for 15 years, says she was dismissed after a colleague wrote an article that featured her latest work, a picture of Myra Hindley cradling a child and a teddy bear.
