<p>[QUOTE="techbiker, post: 13103243, member: 60629"]That was my concern considering how many "Carlo"s are floating around. My board and frame look and smell like they were from the 1960s though, lol. From what I gather, a real 1960s "Carlo" oil painting is still worth more than an imitation or reproduction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, if this is true factory art, wouldn't there still be similar paintings of a similar scene floating around? We've seen so many examples of mass-produced factory art on this site. How is there efficiency of scale in running a true art factory (in today's sense of an art factory) if each piece is different? If "Carlo" penciled out the scene and another junior artist painted the oil, is that true factory art? Maybe all of the others are lost or this wasn't a popular "Carlo" scene? Maybe society's tastes have shifted so that this scene is now appealing even though it wasn't very popular in the 1960s and didn't sell well? I guess there are more questions than answers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: AI suggests this could have been a custom to-order scene.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
