Consider this:
>Bouguereau produced barely over 500 pieces in a productive life
>his paintings were already sold before he even began painting them

From a market / art dealer perspective, this isn't good, because many rich costumers don't even get to buy your product, because you can't keep up with the production. The impressionists improved that situation a bit:

>Monet produced 2500 without spending nearly as much time as Bouguereau

But compared to Picasso's estimated 80.000 works, it's still nothing. You want to to have a limited amount of 'greatest artists' but want them to produce as many works as they can. This was revolutionary for the art trade economy.

Wuts goin' on here guize?

This guy. He is so overrated that most people who call them selves artists don't have courage to get skills like he, so they they do shit they call art, because they believe they cannot achieve the same. They overrate Bovgvereav 2 high.

The entire premise of this thread is:
>But muh Bovgvereav!

Did the OP just discover the ARC or something?

Guy needs to read up on some Art History, feels ridiculous to weigh in when he thinks Duchamp's Fountain was the end point rather than start of Conceptual/Dada art.
