Merci jmmgallagher !
Tu as raison ! Your saying: No, not me, Artiste--but I love art. People need to be more aware--somebody made this! ; is very factual !
Being an artist for over 50 years now creating daily, I am still puzzled as to why nearly 100 per cent of the populations (no matter in which country) do not know about art, as everyone takes it now for granted, I guess, but is it like eating a hamburger: because nobody thinks a bull or cow, or chicken, etc., was killed to create it ?
And whem you educate someone about art and even if you offer an original painting for say 200$ or even 20$, they find that too expensive, but they will go purchase art at 300$ at Wall-Mart without blinking an eye and not knowing that it is a million plus copy which was done by a wealthy criminal likely who stole it that image from an artist !
Much needs to be done to educate the public about art... as you say - if I may interprete that from your phrase.
Why do you like art, may I ask jmmgallagher ?
More pics ?
Au revoir,
hugs!
