Terry and Jennie speak with Graham Dane, Adjunct Professor of Art at UAA and full-time professional painter. We start with whether the fine arts are a profession and go from there. We discuss how artists are trained, and power dynamics in the fine arts. How do the dizzying sums that individual art pieces can sell for affect the art world? What is the difference between an homage and a forgery? How are the internet and social media causing paradigm shifts? We discuss all this and more.
