I just had the honor and privilege to see one of those commercials advertising dirt cheap artwork for sale produced by the ever-enticing "starving artist" community.
This is perhaps the lowest form of American consumerism ever.
Everybody knows that these "paintings" are done on an assembly line and cost next nothing to make. They're not originals, nor are there any artists even remotely near the painting at the time of production, starving or not. And everybody knows that these paintings look like crap (the proof is right there on the commercial). I'm no art snob, but these framed monsterpieces entice no emotions or mental interest like a true work of are would.
Yet somehow the people selling these things are making money... or if they aren't they sure don't mind wasting it.
So I just have to throw it out there to the world: why in the name of Vincent van Gogh would anybody buy these pathetic things?
