Art enhances the quality of our lives when we allow doing so. But it is not easy for anyone to express their thoughts, emotions, and judgements. However, sometimes we learn that with our experience.
Contemporary art may look like anything that an artist wants it to be, and it can lead to a lot of confusion or a creative impulse. You can experience comments like "art is subjective" or "don't ask me to explain it". Artists are not an idea machine that will create a failure or a masterpiece. Gallery owners are not the richest man in the world. It needs a lot of work, passion, money, and effort to create or sell art. A whole team of people having different skills and personalities makes an artist successful. Here are 20 myths about art to clear the misconceptions of several aspects of the art world.
Myth no. 1
Art that is easy to understand sells better.
A common misconception about the art world is that those art pieces that are easy to understand have higher demand. But it is not valid in all cases because some people like more challenging and confusing art. The challenging and confusing art attracts people, such as abstract art, giving the viewers a free hand to think and interpret their own meaning.
Myth no. 2
Artists are lazy, and galleries do all the work.
It is a misconception that artists are lazy to do work, and art galleries do it on their behalf. In fact, artists have a lot of work to do, from creating art to help the gallery owners in setting up their work, selling the art, and attending the openings.
Myth no. 3
A person has to be an excellent salesman to sell every kind of art.
Having the qualities of a salesman is good because a salesman knows how to sell goods. But it is not the galleries who do all the work because the art itself has to be good to attract people.
Myth no. 4
Traditional art is disappearing because of digital technology.
People think that traditional art is dying because of internet usage. The internet is engaging people, but art collectors still have an interest in buying art pieces. The digital world has not destroyed traditional art but has helped to flourish art well.
Myth no. 5
Artists cannot do business.
People believe that artists don't know how to do business, but Jeff Koons is a living example of a successful businessman artist. Before becoming a businessman artist, he was a commodity broker.
Myth no. 6
Figurative painting has disappeared.
People think that with the rise of abstract art, figurative painting has disappeared. Figurative painting has changed, and it is not what it used to be hundred years ago. The fact is that figurative painting is not dead but appears in a new form more relevant to contemporary issues.
Myth no. 7
Higher quality art pieces have higher prices.
It is often assumed that the art pieces that sell at higher prices are always of high quality. But many cheaper art pieces are treated for eyes and some shitty art at a higher price.
