Lying to ourselves that we "know" something, that is 3D, through a 2D medium ... PFUI. I have met art curators, who do not have art in their lives; they have reproductions as decorations, but not actual art ... how sick and wickedly perverse ... to allow the flatulent gasbag art historians to tell you what you should like ... it is their opinion against yours ... and yours is imbued with your own life, your emotions, feelings, responses ...
Art is not a competition, it is not a "one true art shall prevail" ... it is an every day activity, predating the dawn of time, and we can all participate. It is a human activity, needing neither pedestals, historians, nor cults of genius.
It just needs us to decide that we like something, it might be art, and to hell with others opinion, that we like it, it pushes our buttons, and we would like to decorate our cave with it ... or our persons ... but real ... handmade ... an object, of dimension and imperfection.
If you do not understand an aspect of the ART world, be comforted, it is just commerce, and has nothing to do with actual art ... rest assured that if genius is part of the descriptive it has to do with commerce foremost. And avoid pedestals ...
And this, as I recently cleaned the surface; it's in our kitchen and in a spot that is not really art safe ... but it cleans up well ... and the surface of the sky, due to the technique in painting it is very tactile, thin, slight, but distinctly nubile. Edit: Nubile is nice but this should have been nubbly.
