My sister acqured a print of a painting by Amedio Bernino called "Morning Mist" which was sold by a frame-maker called Illinois Moldmaker, supplied by Kingston Art Productions which I figured were an art factory studio which supplied art on demand in the.early !900s.
These "paintings" were quite popular before the 40s and appeared in thousands of households all across North America.
Because of the "elitism" of the "art" communty they were deemed inferior despite most definitions of art appealing to the basic commonality of community. Can a campbell soup can really compare to the satisfaction or evocation of being given by these supposedly inferior works which hung in so many North American homes ? Is art alienated from common society ?
An alien elitism which denies the common man and adheres itself to the privelaged classes ? Not art to me.
One of the sad things is that this artist can not be found in the mercantile internet community. When was he born, When did he die ? Is he only an unaccounted Art-factory artist that missed the later acclaim of less talented artists ? It's sad.
Viva Amedio Benino !!
