that’s exactly what i thought, did seem a bit crass to talk down on it a little bit

You are dense. She meant we know who painted it. You want on an idiotic diatribe, about oranges when she was clearly talking about apples. It’s obvious you just watched that same documentary that every one else watched and you’re so desperate to act informed that as soon as someone touched you, you just started vomiting

Oy, what bit you? Chill, it is just an opinion. No need to be rude.

I wonder that you even wonder about it when the answer is obviously no. People in her profession can't even distinguish between medium and technique at least when I hear them talk about art it seems that way and they talk about everything else but the actual craftsmanship. It is funny on how much information and possibilities to experience especially old master art they miss out on by never practising the skills that go along with doing this kind of art. As my skill in drawing grows the more nuances about drawing and painting I understand and the more I notice in drawings of great skill. She can talk an hour about a collection of these drawings with a focus on history and material. I can probably take one of the drawings or paintings and talk at least one hour about the thinking behind and execution of them.
