Art doesn't pay.

Money talks, the more, the louder.

With a new landscape comes adaptation, success is survival.

I like to live as a pauper but with lots of money.

Picasso

To be someone that makes a living from art is the goal for most creative people, banknotes are funny artworks. Geese published articles that hawked their funky artworks.

Money talks, the rest walks

It is what fuels funny art, punctuated by laughter that gives one to understand that what it is saying is not to be taken too seriously. For weak paintings, imitation may not be a form of flattery, but a way to survive in the wild.

Because we live in a consumer society where marketing is a daily pressure, it is possible to be ironic about the cult of original painting.

Pictures dream not about making waves but making money; banknotes are funny pictures used to proove that we live in a major consumer culture. Philistinism denies the sacred status of art on which the whole arts economy is based. Welcome to my nightmare.
