Why are terrible, boring art pieces done by famous people worth so much while beautiful pieces done by amateurs are worthless?

but well, blurry it was a single strand of flowers with a muted pallet similar to this:

I began to explore the art from each end, I was greeted with a picture of a woman, a vintage style car and a middle aged man, I was like “aight cool pics of vintage stuff” and got closer, but that's when I noticed, the pencil strokes… they were indeed not photographs but actually drawings, I was truly impressed that must have took so much dedication, effort and time; realism of that level is insane talent I kept walking examining all of the art work, mostly copy paste generic stuff like the sunset, sunrise and a bunch of lines and tropical landscapes that made me barf but as I kept on walking a watercolor painting caught my eye, it was blurry, the watercolor was not even done correctly, it looked something like this:

I believe it was the last week of October in 2024, I walked into school, and I am usually the earliest, I walked past the enclosed and dark hallway towards my classroom that was at the very end of the hallway, I went in set up my gorgeous table and had nothing to do till school starts, so for some instinct I walked into the massive hall (Gym class too) that was led in buy a massive door, but instead of and empty room, I walked into a small art exhibition, I figured it might have been some exhibition the day before that they didn’t take down…

How do I stop having work crushes because I only keep getting disappointed almost every day as I keep seeing they don’t like me back and won’t ever ask me out?

I would love to share a story of my own. I’m only 17 and not a millionaire but I’ve once had a temptation to buy a piece of art work…

That was the exact vibe of that painting, it was blurry but I could see through it, I was so tempted to take it, I was ready to find the kid who painted it and request and if he said “no” I was ready offer my lunch money to take it home with me but I didn’t want weird looks so I just left it…

Is it possible for a judge to hold someone in contempt for not being able to pay a fine that was imposed during their sentencing hearing?

I found myself drawn to it, it was perfectly empty-perfectly full.. If i describe it’d feeling, I’d say a rainy day, the sky is gray, rain drops falling onto trees and plants, me sitting by my window looking outside by myself… true emptiness, just me not even my thoughts (that lowkey usually ruin my day).

Arts value is not in the creativity, brush strokes or perfection, sometimes it’s what feeling is shared by light reflected by color on a sheet of paper/canvas… Some artist are truly impressive and deserve recognition but that “feeling” is not created by a direct meaning such as a tree growing out of a persons head painting, but understanding an experience with no words…

The realistic drawings I mistook as real images were impressive, if I had that in my house I’d definitely praise the ghost artist every time I walked past it but the second not well done painting that feelings, it was born out a lot of passion, sure it was “bad” but sometimes we all try so hard, try to make the best of everything we love but what we end up with can be far less than what we’d expect… With that said, I found comfort in that painting, from the colors to the general feeling, it just resonated with my soul, it was like “I can make this appealing for the eyes by a few pen strokes but I will never recreate the same” I do art myself and I often mind my art boring and expressionless looks ok, appealing to anyone enough to say “oh alr, she can draw ig” but not show how I truly feel, I loved art because I wanted it to be my expression but in the end I found myself being more lost by the thirst being “accepted”. I have an image in my mind to be translated into a comprehensible piece of work that people like me can look at share the feeling with but I can’t….

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.
