<p>[QUOTE="johnnycb09, post: 9790549, member: 27"]A lot of it is just developing an eye after decades of looking at and buying art. You become familiar with the technique ,style,etc. Id venture to say the vast majority of art out there is this kind of thing. For countless years this stuff was popular mainly because it was dirt cheap. So everyones grandma,uncle,parents etc had one like this. Not to say they dont have decorative value,just not much. Ive been into art far longer than I care to admit and I barely know anything.Its a vast and complex field (like Asian ceramics!) . Go to museums and galleries and look at art up close, watch stuff on youtube (See if you can find Sister Wendy,she was fabulous!) and eventually you will start to develop your own eye. Most of all,buy what you love and enjoy looking at.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
