4) Romero Britto. Well Britto should take up a lot, if not most, of the slots in my ranking of my worst ten artists (my opinion). Really I should not even include him as an artist, because he is not. He is a mystery. I cannot understand why or who would purchase one of his atrocities. He stands next to the great bad ones like Miró and Kahlo. Yet those were simply bad artists, Britto is not an artist. And if you search, you find nothing about hi, He says he never studied art, and that is quite evident when you see his «works» which resemble a kindergartner’s colouring book. I will let you be the judge.
There really is no reason to put any more as they are all the same.
5) Jean-Michel Basquiat. The «enfant terrible» of the 1980’s. The boy-man who wanted to become famous and rich, and who managed it. I must say that I do respect him a bit more than most of the others, but I still consider him a terrible artist. His mother trained him in the arts and he profited from it, to a certain extent. He was a «graffiti artist» for a while, an abstract musician, a painter, a bohemian, a bum on the streets, and a spoiled brat who did not know how to live and ended up the way he did. Suicide by overdose of drugs. His works are uninspiring and quite cliché, boring to the max and do not, nor have they ever proffered anything to art history. The fact that he was always around the «greats» of his time contributed to his posthumous success. As to the value of his works, well, that is a mystery just like with Britto.
6) Damien Hirst. If anyone can be called a non-artist (besides the ones I have already mentioned) is Mr. Hirst. He thought he had invented the circles of colour, he put a shark in formaldehyde (which he did not mix well and the shark began to rot and had to be replaced) and he made a skull with diamonds who no one bought and who was secretly purchased by a group which included himself… He does not know anything about painting, drawing, well, nothing about art at all. Well, if I could put all the «artists» I have mentioned as number one on my list, I would.

I’m pleased to see Damien Hirst on the list although I’m not sure about ‘Verity’ which I was looking at again just a couple of weeks ago. Have you seen her or a picture of her?

I am glad you were pleased to find Damien Hirst in my list, Malc. Reference «Verity», well, it is rather hideous I must say. And I am sure that it was not built by him, as he has assistants and workers that do the work for him, including sculptors and real artists… Have a great Sunday my friend!

Thank you for these posts, looking forward to the next, sometimes I do question myself to which extend I am a ‘true’ artist, not always very dedicated and not being a ‘pro’ artist, but looking at these do reassure me…:)

Thank you so much! Number three is coming soon. I have always thought your work was very nice and if you are dedicated and working hard, that is the best and only way to develop technique and more important, talent. Keep up the good work.

Thank you, will wait for part #3, thanks for the encouraging words, at least now, almost if not completely retired, freelance workers are never sure…:) I do have more time to come back to my art, and blogging, these days I do feel more like an artist than a dedicated hobbyist…:D

Occasionally, bad art is easy to spot. Take the famously botched restoration of Elías García Martínez’s Ecco Homo, which transformed the work into the “Beast Jesus,” or the Ronaldo bust that is less handsome than its source material. Oftentimes, however, the designation is not so obvious. So thanks for sharing these! I look forward to part three, Francisco. Aiva xx
