When I think it's good, I know. Chuck Close, Thiebaud, the great ones will always ring true. I just don't feel it with 99% of the dross being manufactured today.<br /><br />If I had only known that the way to get instant cred in our brave new world was instagram, I would have done it ages ago!Blue Heronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13516946085702606491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-21948707656981895952016-08-30T12:20:10.972-07:002016-08-30T12:20:10.972-07:00The Museum world of big collectors and auction hou...The Museum world of big collectors and auction houses might be a rotten money laundering scheme. But street art, temporary art, art integrated into subversive lifestyles, and the creative worlds of social media and technological disruption are more alive than ever. Rapid change requires a rapid response that can elude the middle aged. Don't call a whole generation no nothings- we really are in no position to judge. The old emperor we once believed in might be naked, but the young artists with energy are in wide open revolt.<br /><br />Show me your instagram to prove you have a clue!Stutzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08606608740184960850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-76721676040740827072016-08-30T10:06:41.525-07:002016-08-30T10:06:41.525-07:00Robert,

I grew up hating Robert Wood for instance, then started to really dig him after I set the world record selling one of them. <br /><br />Nowadays art is something you stick on your skin with needles and ink.Blue Heronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13516946085702606491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-58050045302322540212016-08-30T00:53:36.736-07:002016-08-30T00:53:36.736-07:00Definitely an interesting read, unfortunately ther...Definitely an interesting read, unfortunately there is truth to it, in this climate of new millennial art appreciation.<br /> The fact remains that we've had it good for a very long time, we have lived this lifetime where we championed just about everything that was created by human hands , promoted it, exploited it, marketed it, to the extent that alls thats left, is an over inflated market where art is no longer available to the young upstart collector on any entry level. ( oh, Im sorry.. " Giclee prints") , We assume the techies will need art as part of their cultural redemption but its probably never going to happen, they are busy buying the 53 million dollar parcel on the other side of the golden gate bridge. Today, Art has been picked up and retrieved by the soul-less who have transformed it into a backdrop tapestry for the rich & beautiful to take selfies in front of., furthermore its a pop soundtrack to superficial and pretentious banality with high heels and accents who never heard of David or Delacroix. The days when young artists went to museums to explore all the historical possibilities of our struggles, history, angst and civil unrest..<br />has been replaced by what I refer to as "the Great Dictation" where we have been told what is good, what it is worth, and what belongs in our museums, we never got an opportunity to include a vetting voice, nor was it open to discussion, so now we are left with someone else's idea of what is relevant. <br /> tonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-85062535899014440652016-08-29T20:07:55.747-07:002016-08-29T20:07:55.747-07:00Have a great time in Florence.

Forget about Ghirlandaio, Caravaggio, Titian, or Da Vinci, many kids in schools today have no idea who Franklin Delano Roosevelt was, or care, or want to learn cursive "righting" when two thumb lite is the main preoccupation.
