The inexpensive offerings at starving artist sales are either cheap oleographs or paintings produced in a repetitious assembly line manner.
The oleograph or imitation painting is a print. For instance, an image of a fruit bowl is machine printed onto a piece of canvas instead of a piece of poster paper. After drying, a clear varnish like clear nail polish is applied on top of the printed image to simulate brushstrokes.
The oleographic process dates back to the s. Its name refers to any imitation graphic work just as the term oleo is used to describe imitation butter. While printed oleographs rely on machines rather than real live artists, some starving artist sales keep the age-old sweatshop in business. Some of these budget paintings are not printed oleographs but rather are produced by groups of underpaid and overworked factory laborers.
Factory workers stand, for hours at a time, in front of machines that support a long roll of blank canvas. For instance, when producing a landscape painting, Artist 1 will paint a tree, Artist 2 will paint a bird, and so on. At intervals and without warning, the canvas is automatically repositioned by machine to expose the next blank area of canvas which workers will then paint it.
The workers repeat the painting process. During the process, Artist 1 paints that same tree over and over again for the next 20 hours straight. Well, just like Artist 1 whose job it is to paint that tree, there is another artist in the starving artist sweatshop who signs paintings. Despite their country of origin, the signed surnames on most of these paintings have a western sounding surname.
Marketing dictates that westerners expect to buy paintings signed with western surnames like Smith, Worthington, Nelson, or Jones. The artists sign all of the paintings with a few of the most common western surnames. This piecemeal art process continues until hundreds of look-alike paintings are produced. Completed paintings are cut from the end of the canvas roll, stapled to a wooden stretcher, framed, and crated for shipment to a hotel lobby near you.
