Robert,

Its kind of like the way I feel about Picasso, to me its crap!  I prefer
Caravaggio myself, but Picasso still sells and so does Galen's stuff.  I
like some of Galen's work.  He does use digital printing to ensure large
image quality so perhaps that is the loss you are seeing?  I don't know.
Either way, its subjective like anything else, hence the reason some like Ms
and others Rs.
