I like Van **bleep** Astro & a modern artist Pollyanna Pickering, but that's the difference & why we don't all like the same thing , I like to see soft lines & things I can recognise , I'm no expert but I wouldn't give pocket change for a Van Gogh it's pretty obvious to me that he was mad, why would you want to display that on your walls, surely you want to hang something that gives you pleasure, I do believe there is a lot of snobbery involved in art , paintings sold for astronomical sums & then hidden away in vaults never to be seen again , just to be able to say I have a blah! Blah!. I agree it is a skill but not much good if it doesn't appeal to the eye .
