Fascinating facts :) Those greedy private collectors hiding art from people :) And yes, it is hard to take a good photograph of art. I had several photoshoots on this topic and i find photographing people so much easier. One of the reasons being, that while sometimes photography adds to the feeling, in other instances it can not show full depth of other subjects (That is why this amazing vista from your vacation looks kind of dull on a computer screen). Anyway, nice read, following you. Cheers!

Funny thing is, that the collectors who share their art in museums get their greed satisfied a lot more, as I said in one of my comments here already. Pretty twisted game after all.
Agree with you, that taking a good photo of a piece of art can be very challenging!
What a wicked world... and money makes it go around:)
That's for sure! And there is lots of it... imagine what a world it would be, if all the wealth was a bit more evenly distributed and spent to make it an even better place!
I just hope that new paradigm and block-chain technology will evolve and empower a more even distribution of wealth.
There is hope :-)

I loved this whole conversation thread and this final painting is beautiful. I'm glad you shared it!
Thank you for liking my painting :-)
I do not know what to say. I can't argue :) Not sure what you meant precisely though. So i will interpret this as colorful future :)
The possibility of a colorful future, yes. In my genre of painting, there is a lot of dystopia, same as in a lot of the science fiction back in the 70s... My work is more positive and I want to believe that positive forces will prevail.
My painting is a metaphor for a better future... bombs exploding into flowers... greed into sharing, competition into cooperation, power crazy rulers replaced by caring guides..
The new paradigm and block-chain technology seem to point into that new direction. Which gives me hope :-)
I'm glad to know it's not just the limitations of my photographic skills that prevents me from capturing the majesty of certain aspects of nature or art. Thanks for the compelling and educational reply!
