"Here is the problem: why can't we have these guys painting actual art?"
Ever created visual art? Most art you see is commercial art. Capital-A, Art is personal. To create an original piece of art takes a lot of effort, be it something visually inspiring, a novel concept or deeply felt emotion. Apply some technique and maybe you might come up with something good, maybe?
"En plein air" isn't always practical.
Think of a photographs used in the way you describe, as the "Cheeze-Wiz" of inspiration for commercial art.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoI don't know. Isn't that backwards? "If its easy, its not real" is too simple. Art may be defined by the artists' effort, or by the effect is has. Plenty of folks are impressed/astounded by 'street art'. Why is it not real, just because the artist had the chops to make it look easy?
- bootload 11y ago"Isn't that backwards? "If its easy, its not real" is too simple." good point @Joe, what I'm trying to explain is, it's inspiration that's hard. The Muse. Art that comes easily, rarely looks/feels bad.
