Gosh you started right. But then you went stupid. Just because it’s intended to be reproduced doesn’t make it not fine art. That’s just a function of time. Because the means to reproduce exist now so that avenue is available. If we’d had the ability to mass produce Da Vinci when he was around his art would have been mass produced. Most art is done for hire, most art has ALWAYS been done for hire.

Oh yes and then you go into the favorite literati BS “if the masses like it it can’t be fine art”. Such a bunch of crap. And of course you KNOW IT. Much fine art was appreciated by the masses in its time.

No fine art does NOT exist in a different economic sphere. That’s just plain a lie. As I already said. Art has been done for hire for ages. Dismissing art because the guy got paid is more elitist crap. And also turning a blind eye to history.

Face it, you’re wrong. And you know it. If you ACTUALLY have that art history degree and you ACTUALLY paid attention you KNOW everything you said is a lie. Gatekeepers are such liars.
