I guess that's just the way it is these days or in this era. But we can name actors and musicians on the spot.
A coworker explained it to me about 30 years ago when we were talking about art paintings like acrylics or oils on canvas or other surfaces. He said "When people hear a song on the radio or somewhere they say 'That's a catchy tune, I think I'll buy it.' But with paintings or copies of them like lithographs and posters people are like eh, meh."
There are exceptions. A few have made a killing on their paintings and posters of them like that Thomas Kinkade guy who died in 2012. He was the "painter of light" with his landscape paintings showing fancy lighting effects like the brightly lit windows in cottages and the brilliantly lighted skies. But who remembers or heard of the name Kinkade?
And what would an art thread be without pics, Kinkade in this case, it's not a site selling his stuff it's just a Google search page.

G Zimmerman is probably the most popular art painter around because of notoriety over his trial then popping out some abstracts or realistic paintings or whatever they were. And I guess some of you could name Andy Warhol who died in '87.
