yawn I'm too lazy to pull out my credit card, can you pay for my pictures before you upload them to the gallery in my name, Phantast? ;-) Seriously speaking, Phantast does raise an issue that has been discussed here before and probably will be discussed again. My own stance on this is that all kinds of art must be evaluated on it's own merits, regardless of the process that was used to make the art. It is the idea behind the artwork that contains the value. It is the message it conveys that makes me appreciate it as art. I can appreciate the pure workmanship as well, but that is another dimension of the artistry. And lets be practical here. I doubt that Michelangelo made the table he used in the painting The Last Supper. He probably bought it. Does that make him a lesser artist?
