almost nothing is known about the picture

Explosion of knowledge

Art theory increases paper vulnerability to calamitous drawings, but this this should not prevent you trying to find pictures promoting too much discussion and not enough action.

context reframing and content reframing

It is a nice naive concept which perhaps can be made into a rigorous theory. Art being only our ignorance of real causes, some art rules such as ideal body proportion would remain arbitrary.

Alexandre Borovik

contemporary primitive art

Life-like art defends itself from modern primitive artists by suggesting that there is no aesthetics need for it.
