Because his art is banale and easy to fake...aka not actual art
- dbspin 3y agoHis work appears banal because it's ubiquitous. It's a curse of extreme success, that your originality becomes de rigueur.
- RajT88 3y agoTo use another Spanish artist, it's like making the observation that Gaudi's work is very Gaudy.
- zamadatix 3y ago"Gaudi" isn't the source of the term "gaudy". They likely both came from an earlier root meaning but gaudy was in place with the modern meaning before Gaudi was even born and many would probably disagree with the assumption his work could even be seen as the related to the term in the first place.

- naremu 3y agoIncidentally, was Seinfeld ever funny? I mean I just suspect the people who don't like Seinfeld probably still didn't like it when it was new, and "being done before" sure never was the problem for me. Makes this trope feel a bit of a misnomer IMO
- beautifulfreak 3y agoYou didn't read to the end. "Not to be confused with honestly thinking that Seinfeld is not funny."
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoGo look at "Christ of St. John of the Cross" - the original in the Kelvingrove Gallery in Glasgow. No, it's not banal, and not easy to fake.
- lancesells 3y agoWhat a weird take. You might not like his art but he's a master at painting. https://www.thedaliuniverse.com/sites/default/files/images/salvador-dali-painting/the_hallucinogenic_toreador/front/the-hallucinogenic-toreador.jpg https://www.thedaliuniverse.com/sites/default/files/images/s...
