This sort of thing really does make the art world look an ass.

Artspeak: "He creates a dramatic and profound reflection on human existence and our relationship to nature on the cusp of the 21st century.”
I would never have noticed unless they told me. But they did tell me and I still didn't notice. I must be blind.

p.s. you are not allowed to discuss digitally manipulated images here.

It's 2 x 3 meters! Art often sells by the square inch (or centimeter ...).

Am I missing something, or is this picture of so little interest that most people wouldn't have bothered to print it?

Personally I gave up long ago in trying to understand what art is.
