I really think it is great to see that the old thought to be masters of
painting have turned out to be nothing more than frauds for tracing the
works using optics.You should see the cost for these works go way down for
the simple reason they have been traced and traced work is not worth a dime
except for the paper it is traced on.
The people that liked to only invest in the old past artist have gotton what
they deserve because they are the one who have taken advantage of the art
market for years.Now the ball is in the court for the real artists to
shine,but you still have to beware because there are many who have traced
there work for years and I have seen this many times and just never said
anything.The reason why I never said anything is I wanted to see as much as
I could until the cat got out of the bag which it has done that for sure
now.Today they use over head projectors to trace which is about the same
method as used by the old masters but the only difference was the old
masters(not no more they are)traced upside down.
Does that mean they were upside down wana be artists or does that mean they
turned the art world upside down.I have to also say it is to funny hearing
the excuses the museums are trying to make for this disaster but all I can
say about some of them is they never understood art works anyway.I have delt
with many from museums only to walk away laughing at many of them and
knowing the net was going to put those types in there place sooner or later.
Well,well,now what do we do about all those high prices paid for art work
only a dummy would buy now.Remember I said DUMMYS and DUMMYS have hard heads
so lets see how long it takes the Dummys in our art world to pick up on what
is really in there faces.If the Dummys want to buy TRACED art works I could
do this all day so beware of what a can of worms really means if you DUMMYS
want to open one up.
The super greedy have tryed to get rich off of struggling arts for years and
years and to tell you the truth this is why I never worried about selling
much of my works.Point is I was already struggling so what difference would
it have made to get a few crumbs from people that just wanted to get rich
from my hard work and myself never see more than maybe about two dollars a
hour if that for my work.I guess because I love the art world and my work so
much I have made sure my children will have control of my work or maybe even
a traveling art show of my thousands and thousands of original might be a
fun idea so people can get a look at the real artist mind and his works.I do
know one thing for sure the bottom will never drop out of my values within
my works and I dont care if a thousand years go by.
I also need to clear up the fact that artist do keep Journals because I have
done this even since I went to Rutgers University and still do to this
day.Some of the people I have caught using over head projectors over the
years are listed in my writting and the funny part to that is you wouldnt
believe the people that the were fooling.I will tell you this some were in
museums and some were judges for art shows and there were also artist groups
that would invite these people to be the head of there groups.ONLY A REAL
ARTIST WILL KNOW FOR SURE,and I am not talking about hair!

This will never happen. Artists have "traced" for years - and will
continue to do so. Perhaps this is a personal discovery for *you*?
What you believe you have discovered, most people (who've read art
history) already know this. The information is in there!!

This is a ridiculous statement. How could anyone who invests in art,
take advantage of its market??

> Now the ball is in the court for the real artists to

As opposed to what? Fake artists? Differentiate the two.

And if you did say anything, what reaction do you think you would get?
LOL

But you're screaming about thousand-year-old news!!

It means that they found a way to accurately depict their subject
matter. You have a problem with that?

I have never heard a museum make an excuse for an artist's work. It's
not their policy. And what, exactly, is the disaster you're talking
about?

The real cause behind this ridiculous post? Too bad you called your
potential investors Dummies. Kinda puts a new spin on the word, eh?

My suspicion from the tone of this post, is that you *can't* sell.

Ugh! It's the theme song from "As My Stomach Turns."

Really? It shows.

Couldn't find your work on the net.

Will you be there to see make sure it happens? LOL

YOU do. You are not every artist.

You were the one fooled. Like I said probably 3 times already. ART
HISTORY 101.
