yet few living artists get much respect, and the debate still rages on the question of what constitutes art.
hmm Art what is it and why?
Art is the expression of a singular persons perspective of beauty, transformed into a physical (may it be form or sound) entity.
Why? Because people who come to see the artists perspective are so enamoured with themself, in regards to discovering how clever they really are, and to proof this they are willing to lay out good sums of money. Now if the said artist is actually diseased ... even better cause he can not disagree about the persons perspective being totally wrong, (no it is not the face of my wife while in childlabor, it is a feeling of mutual acceptance!) and thus the person owning this piece of art eclaims the wonders of what the art depicts (to its knowledge) to their friends, who in turn do not want to look stupid and thus proceed to buy art from the same artist.
Since this artist is deceased it follows that there's a limited availability of his/hers work and thus we come to the old slogan of supply and demand, which is the sole reason why deceased artists Art is more expensive <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
