<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark London, post: 49166, member: 346&quot;]You seem to be confusing good art with good marketing and/or fashion. The idea that an artist has to die in order to be &quot;discovered&quot; is more fantasy than reality, sure it happened with Van Gogh but try to name another one or two.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest, I&#039;ve been in the art business for over 40 years and have looked at tens of thousands of paintings. At this point, it is a visceral response based on years of experience. &quot;Factory&quot; is almost a generic term for either a production line painting or a quickly made painting that shows some level of technique but is devoid of inspiration or expression.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I suggest going to museums and looking at art books is to educate your eye. Get close to the canvas and see how a great painter handles the medium.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
