Have you ever been to Modern Art Gallery?
Trust me, if you can paint Window frames you’re better with Paint than they are. (!)
I could never have painted the animals at Chauvet. They may seem crude to us, given later centuries of representational art; but they’re expressive and ‘kinetic’; lifelike; and the result of very careful observation. They also have an artistic cohesion that’s remarkable.
