This is not a matter of different "world views" as you call it.
The distinction you draw between paid artists and "the critical community" simply does not exist.
How many historically great artists, masters, geniuses, would you like to be named here - all who have been paid, or had patronage, or whatever, before you'll admit you're criteria is utterly deficient without depriving yourself the benefit of some of man's greatest achievements?
It's ironic, how you proclaim you don't care to consider whether you are condescending, that this lack of connection to humanity is probably related to the artificial boundary your mind has created to encircle what you call real art.
To each his own.
- duaneb 10y agoI don't believe I used the term "real art" and if you re-read my comment you'll find I have a more nuanced view of commercial/non-commercial art. Pixar isn't tackling anything controversial because they want to get paid; this does not mean they don't produce art, but rather that there are many pieces of art worth making they will not touch. This goes for any commercial entity, and Pixar is certainly producing more work that is interesting in itself than any organization of which I can think.
