Is an Artist Only Appreciated After He Dies?

in #art7 years ago

“An artist is only appreciated after he is dead” — it is quoted enough to have come out of the Bible. Whatever the source, it exists as a truism of the life of the artist and of the art market as well.

Mmm, i don't think so.. here, i show you an amazing Australian painting, drawing, sculpture, artist tremendously talented for my opinion.

Rick Amor (born 3 March 1948) is an Australian artist and figurative painter. He was an Official War Artist for Australia.

The following is my favorite among his paintings. It is difficult to express in words, if not impossible, the feeling that makes me visualize myself in a landscape with these characteristics. There is a Latin word to describe it "Caeles" (heavenly).
