Living Masters

An earlier post referred to modern artists as having "novelty without skill' .That is certainly true for the 'artists' embraced by the 'taste makers' at the New York Times and elsewhere....but there are some living artists who, well, actually know their way around a brush. The Art Renewal Website lists some of them here.


What is amusing...or sad...is that young people often spend - or their parents spend - excesses of $50,000 attending four year schools and learning absolutely nothing about craft and simply waste time with 1960s relics rehashing 'ideas' while they could spend less than $100.00 a month at the Art Students League and actually learn something from a living master.
