Comment on How do department stores decide the designs they want to put on T-shirts

The shirts do seem pretty random, but H&M is fast fashion. There’s a ton of things that can only be described as “throw everything at the wall and see what sticks”
As for dead vs alive, we celebrate tons of dead celebrities. Recently I’ve been seeing a lot of business l Nirvana shirts, featuring Kurt Cobain’s face, and he’s been dead for 30 years. Similar stories for many bands from the 60s/70s.
Even if we limit it to painters, most people can name (or at least recognize) a bunch of dead painters. How many living painters do you know of? Would people recognize their most famous works?
