It depends what you use as a metric for someone to be a good artist. If it's by monetary value then his paintings were awful in that department. His paintings were just average and weren't meant to be artistic masterpieces. His work was more about getting people to paint.


Absolutely this.

Remember, good and bad are completely subjective, 100% of the time. He was absolutely technically skilled, you can't argue that, but how you judge his art is on you. Nothing he painted on his show had any meaning to it, no emotion. Unless you count happy little trees. But they were all certainly physically attractive.

Your friend is jealous and/or ignorant.


Complete BS.

TC's friend saying he wasn't a good artist wasn't out of line at all. As a musician, I'm not gonna look at a guitar solo as "good," no matter how technically proficiently it was written and played, if it doesn't sound pretty to my ears.
