Fine art and genuine art

I had an interesting conversation on Facebook the other day about the struggle we artists tend to go through because of the nature of our work. 

Nothing to do with having to be sad and crazy to make art (a dumb myth if I ever heard one), but about the divide between the upper echelon of art consumption that is the auction market and the low end of our world, the regular Joes and Jolenes, that are selling their art on Etsy or Saatchi Art.
