Quote - At least we know now the feeling the romans had in 410 when the barbarians sacked Rome and went around in the city baffled by the artwork.
Different context. Everyone here has had some exposure to art of one form or another. The Barbarians didn't have any kind of framework by which to judge the artwork in Rome. We do. Even BB who is a self confessed non artist has some context.
Your argument that one image must be crap because it's relatively easy to produce is complete tosh, btw. Ease - or the lack thereof - is not by itself a criterion by which to judge the artistic worth of something.
In any case, I subscribe to Peng's opinion on this one; it's impossible for me or thee to state what is great art.
