The real artists has always done that! It is the phony ones that only create for
money.

For the record, making a living at your art
is a plus, because then you have time to do it.
If Charles Dickens had to work in a factory
and then come home and write, we would have
fewer books, and that isn't a good thing, in
my eyes.
The question is, how to arrange it so that
artists can afford to create. But just
giving it away isn't really a solution, if
you care about fostering the arts. A person
can choose to do that, if the circumstances
allow, but you surely don't want only rich
people to make art. Super big piles of
money, in my experience, that pass to the
next generation make for vapid and empty people
who understand very little because they miss
out on what one might call Real Life.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
