What's going on in the real art world?
Welcome to "In The Real Art World" and please excuse the pun.
"In The Real Art World" alerts you to the best exhibitions of representational "realism" which are on at the moment anywhere in the world. Whether it be in a Museum or a commercial gallery, the main focus will be on contemporary art without ignoring the great art of the past.
Although I appreciate good art in any form it takes, I noticed that there are a multitude of sites dedicated to what's happening now in contemporary art. But there is no site that specialises in letting you know where to see the best of representational "realism" that is either contemporary, or of the past.

This proves that the taste of the People is not changing. The gap between the elite and the public is widening, I think. Chapeau, Vincent!
