Alex,

I agree, it is quite disturbing. I only meant to point out that the gallery owner is not committing fraud. He is, though perpetuating poor substitutes for art.

It is our responsibility to educate the public on what makes for a truly good portrait and a piece of fine art.

I wish that every portrait exhibition could include the reasons why the paintings accepted or won. It just doesn't seem to be enough just to award prizes based on some secret that the public is unaware of (and sometimes me too).
