I don't think you can capsule any art style for eternity, based on history of art, styles evolve and become something completely different. Weather it has been a good change or bad change is has been up to the masses to decide and for the art dealers to put a price on them. Like someone mentioned earlier, individuals have a choice to make in buying or praising these pieces on TC. Sven, I appreciate your passion, and every time these discussions come up I am sure your point is taken seriously by a lot of artists good or bad but I think it is up to the new generation of carvers and artists to take this art form where it need to go.
