I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one who feels Ross is completely and totally overrated.

I can appreciate some of Ross's work, but it is very cold and, obviously, depends on photo-realism, which really flies in the face of the what is traditionally beautiful about the medium. I think Tom pushes things too far by assigning the term "artist" to some of these guys and not others. As someone who teaches these concepts daily, I try to tell my students that such judgments are never really valid, in that we're not in that artists head. We cannot sincerely gauge the sincerity and/or motivation in any real way. Therefore, deciding who is and isn't an artist is soemthing I don't dip my toe into. I just concentrate on analyzing what's before me.
