The value of oil painting varies greatly, so what determines the success or failure of an oil painting?

The value of oil painting is very different. The success or failure of an oil painting is of course determined by its connotation and people's appreciation of it, and your background at that time is also very relevant.

First of all, an oil painting must have a very solid foundation, strong painting art and far-reaching situation. If the idea expressed in this painting is simple and can't stand pondering, it is destined to be a classic. Secondly, I think the cost and time of oil painting creation should also be included in its value. Some people may draw a classic work in 10 or even 20 years, so its value is definitely much stronger than that drawn in a day or two.

The value of an oil painting also depends on people's appreciation angle. Different people appreciate it from different angles, which may not be uniform, but if it is a really good work, it should be recognized by many people, especially those in the industry.

Finally, I think the value of oil painting also has a lot to do with the background of the times. For example, Van Gogh's works were worthless at that time. He sold only a few paintings before his death, so he was down and out, and no one even recognized him as a qualified writer. However, after his death, his works were worth thousands of dollars and were repeatedly sold at sky-high prices. This is because his works are ahead of the times, and the meaning he expressed was unacceptable at that time, but with the changes of the times, he gradually discovered the valuable value contained in his works.

Therefore, there are also some artists and works of art, which were a complete failure before their death, but achieved unprecedented success after their death. Of course, what I say here is only my personal opinion, because I am not good at drawing, and I hope the answer will help you.
