Ya know what’s funny? I’ve been writing a lot of essays about art recently, and basically any western painting, when you google it, there are at least 5 hits on the front page of results showing how you can buy a print of the art. The description is always some super-vague thing or a description of what the painting is of. There’s rarely mention of the period it’s from or the history of the time. And they all have the same thing, word for word.
Meanwhile, the other day I was writing about a balinese piece, and there was no info about it at all except for some old-school sites that were just there because someone else 30 years ago liked the same piece of art. That is the Internet I miss. I’d take Geocities over the times any day.
