A new Impressionism? is it that radical?

Question

I am not talking about a new style or way of painting but how people are now selling their work. My mother, a well known local artist, has always tried to make the point that you should sell in galleries. while on the other hand my father is one of the leading pioners and most succesful artists who are currently selling their work via online venues, mostly ebay's well established art comunity. is this a another case of the impressionists selling their work in group shows instead of the Salon de Paris in a modern world?

Answer 1

yes you are quite right. they no longer go for the Salon de Paris in a modern world.
