What's the deal with really cheap paintings?

There was a great article about the"Chinese Barbizon" in the Oct. 26, 2009 issue of “The New Yorker.”

Aren’t those big canvases the Chinese paint in, aren’t they basically printed with a picture already, like giant paint-by-numbers? And dear God, are those pictures UGLY. They must sell millions to people who just want something to brighten up their drab living rooms, cheap. I bought beautiful framed prints online at posters.com and it was like eating pistachio nuts, I couldn’t stop.

So do you have red dye all over your hands from this, then?
