Art and Artists

If you found a painting by a famous artist in an old cupboard, you would be both cheerful and rich. The value of many works of art is very high. The world is now a small place, and people are no longer familiar only with art from their own country or from nearby countries. European artists have taken many ideas from African and Asian art; moder art is very experimental. Much of it may be difficult to understand or like. The important thing is that artists can paint what they want and how they want.
