@MicroSFF Would 'cheaper' be in the alien's vocabulary when it comes to art? I always wondered about the sales prices of art pieces... But then again, I might be an alien...

"You Humans have so much art! Do you have machines to make all paintings, poems, stories and songs?"
"We experimented with that, briefly," the guide said. "But humans are both cheaper and more creative. And, well, we will make art regardless."
@MicroSFF My only criticism about this is that making art should not be about who, or what, can make the "cheapest" art. It should be about who can make the most expressive art, the most beautiful art, the most empathetic art.

@DerPumu There has been a Dutch tv-documentary series about Henri Matisse. Being a painter isn't just a choice of profession, it's who you are as a human. The series is called 'Krabbé zoekt Matisse' (Krabbé's search for Matisse) produces by AVROTros and perhaps retrievable through NPOStart
(https://npo.nl/start/serie/krabbe-zoekt/afleveringen/seizoen-6_1).

@MicroSFF Gosh, I hope so.
