Quality is how great the marketing is

What is a good work of art?

I have been impressed by artists who done great work with great technique.

However, the current situation seems to be different.

Popular works are popular because they are popular.

My friend was wearing a T-shirt of a famous artist.

I asked him why he bought it.

He answered, "Because it is popular."

I thought, "I see."

I have heard that one NFT collector doesn't think one work is cool but he bought it because of its popularity.

It is not uncommon for artists who create great works to not be able to make a living as an artist.

On the other hand, influencers who have rarely painted before I saw an influencer on YouTube selling his paintings for over $10k.

If you are popular in any field, selling paintings is very easy even you don't know about paintings.

We artists should be aware of this fact.
