i ' m pretty sure he still thinks its chinese propaganda to make the rest of the world slow down while they attempt to fix their pollution problem , even if it ' s a real phenomenon . <| sep |> Just chiming in because I find this topic interesting . There was a student in my art class that was physically putting less work into his art pieces favoring a modern style . His work looked lazy almost , large blocks of simple cutouts for a collage , spatters of different color paints for a scenic painting while the rest of the class spent hours meticulously working on making every detail perfect , but he got the same grade or even higher grades for his work . As an artist on the latter end , as much as I appreciate his style and work , it was hard not to feel bitter not even for myself but other students who I knew would go home and work for hours on their paintings to see someone get greater reward for what is arguably less task . It ' s hard to put a value on art , I think you ' re right to say calling Urs Fischer lazy shows ignorance , but at I also wonder why we sometimes value certain types of art more than others , and often the modern world seems to shy towards the type of art I formerly described though people in the past seemed to have valued the latter . Edit I should add , the aforementioned student did a great job with his work and did put in effort , he was expressing himself and his work was beautiful , I think I ' m more just intrigued by how expression in the art world can sometimes result in less work and be more valued than discipline which is often more work but sometimes valued less .
