gotta admit I am not a connisiuer of art, but Judy and I were talking of aboriginal paintings,
How many dots does it take to make a masterpiece?
there is a shop on the wharf in Cairns that has some paintings that are priced in the thousands, and I was trying to explain to her that if you were to put a lot of dots on a plate the last one one would probably not be one,
You either are an arty crafty psudeo sophisicated lover of it or you're not.... I like some of it.... Years ago My youngest son and I are at the National Gallery looking at Blue Poles and there is a woman explaining it to us..... After her discourse son (about 7 at the time) pipes up "Which preschooler did this?" Crowd bursts into hysterics and disburses shaking their heads....

There are some not so genuine dotty pieces out there, claiming to be genuine indigenous art. A friend of my in Broome was unemployed, and was started on the CDEP at an Aboriginal Art House. She painted dotty plates which were then sold as genuine aboriginal art. She is not aboriginal. Since then I've become even more cynical. If you are keen to purchase "genuine" artwork, investigate its origin. It's a lot of money to pay for a dud. Chris
