I certainly agree with Wolfe about the painted word. There's another article at artnet.com on Christopher Wool, who rented out a top floor in a New York tower for a show of his own and didn't offer any for sale because he felt that his work had become a commodity. LOL.
I think that human talent has been fully developed at Johannes Vermeer and Japan's Hokusai.
Hokusai loved drawing and was poor, but at the age of 90 he said, "Give me another 10 years old, heaven (God), and then I'll become a master of art." It is estimated that the average life expectancy at the time was under 40 years old.

I don't feel anything in this new picture.
