The artist:
If you talk to the artist, you would probably hear an out pour of heavy emotions. To simplify it, you will hear drama. No artist can work with a bad mood. NEVER! This is a whole lot of crap. Artists paint because they ENJOY and LOVE what they are doing. So how come some of these artists would say that they painted a certain piece during a very difficult time in their lives? Bullshit.
The art critic:
Yes, art critics hired by prestigious galleries to sell their paintings. Art critics will tell you what you want to hear and not what the artist wants the audience to see. I am wondering why these people know more than the artist as if they have painted the pieces with their own hands. Art critics use tactics and dictate what the people must see. This is very VERY misleading. Remember, critics are hired to sell - just like companies hire advertising agencies for product promotions. There is NO TRUTH in advertising.
If buying an art is an investment, buy works of notable masters and never trust a review from critics alone. If you buy a painting just because you like it, buy one and hope that someday it would cost a ton of fortune. Fingers-crossed. This is just my personal opinion. No offence to my art critic and artist friends though, I still love you all! :)
