Description
You don't know how I wish many people were so sincere and frank as Sonia (the girl of this anecdote), and confront the arrogant attitude to many artists, as this guy that we see here! Hahaha!Another comic strip created for the educational books of Richmond Publishing.

Exactly - the art lover that has no skill tries to pass himself off as an artist.
Basically, the cubist or modern artist. Hacks and frauds.
Now I know that will offend some folks, but if a 3 year old can show more skill and talent, then the artist needs to keep working at it until they show some mature accomplishment!

I'm not really inclined to agree with that last part. No intention to start an argument, but I feel the need to point out that Picasso, who is widely considered one of the best artists of our time, was one of the founders of Cubism.
Of course, the difference between Picasso and a hack-artist who draws things wrong and says "it's their style," assuming they had the same drive and passion as Picasso himself, is that Picasso was a very skilled and practiced traditional artist who worked obsessively to improve and develop. He's got a huge body of work showing the fruits of his study and his great technical and anatomical knowledge.
If art is football, artists like Picasso learned how to play properly first, learned how all the positions on the team are important and where their own position fits into that, trained the living hell out of themselves, and from there began to purposely bend the rules and change up the game, and the fans loved it! The sort of artist you describe are the ones who only learned one position, or only know half the rules, and that's an easy way to get yourself a penalty at best, or at worst, booed off the field.
So, I think that any medium or style can be depicted well, if the artist understands its basic principles. That's why I think artists who used simplistic, nonobjective, or abstract styles like Jackson Pollock, Paul Klee, Willem de Kooning and several others managed to enjoy great success despite having so many people rolling their eyes and saying their three-year-old could paint better than they could... and also that artists who get snooty and condescending to people who don't understand their style tend to be picked apart pretty fast, as the gentleman here just learned the hard way.

Did you really want to hear my opinion? Okay, here goes.
Picasso was successful, true. Was he a genius? Was he a good artist? Not to me and many others.
Do you like his style? I don't care.
Do you dislike my style? I don't care.
Picasso and other "modern" artists seem more caught up in the "message" of the "art". "What does the artist want us to think?" or "What is the artist trying to tell us?" are the kinds of things that you hear when people view their work.
Picasso was a political activist. He joined the communist party but later admitted that the communists were full of crap.
Picasso's work is not beautiful or enjoyable to most people I have talked with about it. Of course, the art snob, looking down their long nose will decry the traditional artist such as Norman Rockwell or Frank Frazetta as "narrow" and only understanding "one position".
Truth is, the majority of people viewing Rockwell's or Frazetta's art recognize what is in the painting and can appreciate the enormous amount of talent, skill and study that it took to make these men MASTERS of their craft!
By understanding each and every component, they are able to represent it in one setting: balance, proportion, soft or hard objects, light, shadow, texture - Norman Rockwell could even evoke the mind to remember smell or taste in his painting of the Thanksgiving Day dinner.
With Picasso, one's mind is disturbed and confused by the nightmarish images that look, well, like he was on drugs. Your mind tries to take an "eye" and fit it to a "face", if you can stomach it that long. The images are simply grotesque.
If that is art to you, then it's all yours!
Did Picasso use drugs? Opium, heroin, cocaine and psychedelic drugs were largely unregulated for most of his life.
Eddie Van Halen had training in classical music. He changed it up and has been very successful in his time. But will his style stand the test of time that Bach or Beethoven have stood?
Will people 200 years from now look at cubism or other modern art as "accomplishments" or as "lazy"? We won't be around to find out, but we do know that the masters of the renaissance have proven themselves.

I wonder where that artist stereotype came from. Perhaps it was the typical fashion of Parisian Modernists to wear a beret and stripped shirt.
Anyways, well done! Love the expressions.

I made this stereotype because is easy to recognize.
Thanks a lot!

Seriously, I saw something about it in some of Scott McCloud' and R. A. Heinlein' works; in "Stranger in a Strange Land" we can read an extensive speech about what an artist wants to means with his art.
For my own concern about this subject, I think both of them (simbolically using your picture, thank you 
I think your pic shows this "deaf' dialogue" perfectly; that's why I think it's really cool.

At least she doesn't to pretend to understand it like most pretentious people would. Nice!
What an interesting look for the artist. With the green skin/big nose and the classic striped shirt/ black beret combo, it's such a stark contrast to the realistic looking people in the museum. It's like he really fits "holier than thou "art snob in more ways than one.

I've seen gorillas and elephants produce better art then a lot of abstract artists. If some one didnβt say that they were done by professional artists I could easily mistake a lot of it for something that came out of a kinder garden class. lol way to give it to the lazy hacks.
