So you are saying it isn't art unless someone will pay you for it? Here is webster's definition of art : the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects. There is no mention of money changing hands. I have been "swimming in the portraiture waters" for decades, have won and judged PROFESSIONAL competitions and headed a mentor program for PPA in northern CA. I don't give a shat what galleries are interested in. I don't look to them to decide what is art. I know more of painting, sculpure, architecture and photographic art than most of them. Spare me the haughty attitude. Hold your pinkie out drinking wine? I am a portrait ARTIST who makes art with a camera. I guess that vermeer guy wasn't an artist since no galleries showed his work. I find much of the "gallery world" a bunch of pompous aholes arrogant enough to think their opinion is superior to others. Have you ever seen the south park episode about people who drive a prius who smell their own farts? So take your snarky comment and shove it.Art with commerce is commercial art
After a good laugh, major gallery principals just might take you less than seriously--assuming they listened at all. I'm guessing the art market are waters you don't swim in regularly.
