I just read Fred Ross's article on Good Art/Bad Art: Pulling Back the Curtain ... thank you so much! What a delightful and finally truthful observation on all the art that has been so praised ... to me it looks like what it makes me feel like doing when I look at it ... [throwing up] ... I could never understand what the big deal was with Picasso, and Co. .. Now I understand ... it's the brainwashing attempt ... I am not by any stretch an authority on fine art ... but geez ... I can see the difference between a painting that I could not even begin to duplicate ... and one that I could easily do ... thanks again ... this site is terrific ... I just found it today ... while looking for one of my favorites ... Maxfield Parrish.
