>>Van Gogh's paintings would be very cheap if they didn't have his name attached to them.
I suggest you discuss Van Gogh with an actual fine artist. I did recently with a coworker and they amazed me with their description of progression of his "style."
The artist made the point that his works are the result of his unique brain chemistry, the same that chemistry that caused all his personal problems.
I don't see how your claim is defensible.
- jotm 13y agoWould they be as highly regarded if they didn't have his name and personal problems/history attached to them? Like if they were in a gallery credited to "an unknown artist" next to Picasso's paintings?
- wavefunction 13y agoI guess you mean mass acclaim? A piece of art only has that value to me that matches the change it engenders in me. It is either worth "something" (don't want to say worthless) or it is priceless, there's no real continuum for me if that makes sense.
