[QUOTE="Upstreeter, post: 45686, member: 882"] You've said it all Vibrac - "[COLOR=#333333]being married to a real artist I have nothing but contempt for objects produced without real years long acquired skill." - and in so saying you cannot avoid becoming embroiled "[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]in discussions on what is called art nowadays". [/COLOR]We could have an endless and doubtless boring debate upon the merits of 'skill' in art...there are many skilful wielders of brush, pencil, pen and chisel who will never be artists. It all comes down to the endless discussion about what constitutes art and there we will surely differ. Picasso in his early life would (I guess but I don't know) fulfil your definition of a 'skilful' artist, producing figurative accessible work of intrinsically high technical merit...whereas his later works might not match that criteria. Incidentally, I too share your admiration of the look of what was,compared to the G50, the relatively unsuccessful Matchelss G45. A long way from Vincents I know. [/QUOTE]
