The industrial age has killed art...

Have you ever noticed that when you are an artist, you like to talk about how everybody has their own vocation and that you were meant to be an artist, especially if you have family money to rely on......and if you are a garbage collector you talk about survival in this shitty world...and you are sure that you were really meant to be an artist....so the first opportunity you have at piling paint on a page...you are inspired tp pursue the career of an artist instead and if you are a good business man/woman, you might actually eke a living, especially if you happen to be digitally savvy...you don't even need to know how to draw or paint or design or think or anything else in the art profession..., just squish some pixels in a program on the computer.

Galleries now often don't want to show paintings and drawings as being passe and only contemporary art which means hanging used stockings on a stick (installation) or presenting a boring video in a loop. Did you notice that the more boring the photo the larger in size as if size were to compensate for actually saying something or beauty.

Mixed media is the new catch phrase....again usually meaning a few brush strokes on a photo, large of course!

The Turner Prize 2018 was given to a woman who made a "film" on a I Phone, meaning she overlapped some images and recorded  some trite thoughts on top about herself of course...blah blah blah....this is the largest prize an artist can get...there are a lot of brilliant movies ...this in comparison is really mickey mouse.

A truly great painting, that is alive (as Van Gogh said a painting should be) that effects you would have been more worthy to receive such a prize...me thinks.
