Smart Art

Like any business, artistic value depends on promotion, style and recognition.  Unfortunately, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and new art relies on critics, galleries and “experts”, to gain popularity.  If it is beautiful to look at, it could take years before it becomes worth anything.  I’ve been told my art surpasses some of the new art styles, but I still need that “provenance” to be recognized and appreciated. This is like being “recognized” as an unknown talent, even if there is no talent there.  A picture with 3 stripes just doesn’t seem like art, but after someone promoted the artist, the painting had an $8,000.00 price tag.  Well, nothing in life is fair.  You need luck, and lots of it.  Knowing the right people helps; it applies to jobs, opportunities, glory and fame, and, of course, the chance to make a lot of money.  Check out http://www.spoiledink.com/danae
