ABOUT ART

While cheap art in parking lots has always been with us, the artist who wants to stay the course has to realize that a name is also an asset. Art is not like shirts, for example, where buyers may not care about name or brand as much as quality and price. In art, the name is the name of the game. Artists and the art they make, are personalities within communities. These communities may be the whole world, or The Trail Riders of Podunk County. It's a fact of life that one competently painted horse doesn't sell for the same amount as another competently painted horse. Reasonably decent prices are all about context and perception. Anonymous and "in the style of" work has little context and consequently low valuation.

Pitching art down to a price fills only college dorms.

Professional artists put their DNA into their work. Art is not just artist's a life, lived by an individualist with a personality, verve, and a deep respect for human relationships. QUOTED-IN PART-FROM ROBERT GENN'S (contemporary Canadian artist) WEBSITE (www.painterskeys.com/art-directory.asp)

"A lotta cats copy the Mona Lisa, but people still line up to see the original." ( Louis Armstrong ) Artists who would make their way need to see themselves as individualists, sovereign islands and unique brands. Besides the art, what is known about the individual can also be loved. The artist can make his life a work of art. "Like a snowflake we are the beauty of one." (Kathleen Arnason)
