Digital BW, The Print

Does the name Thomas Kinkade ring a bell? The pretend art world loves a good con it seems.

I think what most of you are not getting, is that its not about the photography, but the promotion. I think most of us agree that Peter Lik’s photography is not that special. I think someone put it as “oversaturated vacation pictures” I would agree. In terms of self promotion he is extraordinary. I think he has more than 20 galleries that sell only his work. 
It is unfortunate that success in the art world often comes to those that yell the loudest and the most often.

How fortunate that we are not dependent on this sublimely ignorant ass to define for us what is and is not art.

And thank you for reminding me why I read the Times, the Financial Times, and the Daily Telegraph, and thoroughly ignore the drivel of the Guardian-- which I've long since come to view as little more than a quick read for those who can't.
