I want to know what representational art signifies now. Is it , only art if it's old and craft if it's new, ,-what? If new abstract and conceptual art sells for a lot more than representational art, why is that and what does it say about representational art?, You see an abstract painting called something or other marsh-it's art of unknown value, you see a representative painting of a marsh-it's a jigsaw.

A photograph, for instance, is not a sign until someone designates it. wc ----- Original Message ---- From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, January 17, 2011 12:12:57 PM Subject: representation and its sgnification -Getting back to that I didn't mean the system of signification in the works, I meant the general signification of representation made by people, not machines. like cameras.
