Gallery owners and show runners have learned a very interesting fact:

If you have to explain a painting, or if the subject requires any real "thought" on the part of the viewer, it is harder to sell.
Michael,

With, as you know, all respect, I'm finally at a loss here. I imagined that I had the campaigns scoped out. I thought it was the modern artists that defiantly, or at least with disinterest, rejected scrutiny and analysis. I thought the realists (hey, I'm one) invited it. Here it sounds as if you're saying that traditional art is difficult to understand. Isn't it the "modern art" pieces that require explanation? Surely I'm misunderstanding your point. Everything I see in the SOG Artists' galleries speaks beautifully for itself. I'm not understanding your post. Please, if you would, elaborate.

And gosh, Kinkade as "evil"? (He's actually a devoutly religious person, openly grateful for and generous with his blessings and earnings.) Evil? You can't have meant it. How disappointing and discouraging it would be to hear that you did.
