A repost from Gurney

I was reading Gurney's blog today and came across this article:


I'm not sure what to think. I don't buy the implicit prejudice that the original work these Chinese painters produce would be of dubious quality simply because they are not living in France or Amsterdam in 1890. In one image they also insultingly refer to original portraits as Kitsch - I guess the art academics from 1920 have truly won in their effort to convince everyone that avant garde art is the only thing of any value.

It is definitely scary that so many artists work for so little.
