NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY'D DONE, THEY PAINTED IN THE SUN: So if artists like to complain about the commodification of art, and if they bemoan how collectors are overly committed to decorative consistency instead of the basic point of the pieces they see, and if we know from Whistler v. Ruskin that what's valuable about art is not the time it takes to make it, then why do the prices of paintings by the same artist generally correspond to the size of the pieces?
