And fifty years to build up the social acceptance that his work has much value.
- ZoFreX 16y agoPicasso was one of few artists to have their work be of value during their lifetime, wasn't he?
- wisty 16y agoHe was the first (only?) artist to get an exhibition in the Louvre while he was still alive. It didn't hurt that he lived for quite a while. Dali was also quite popular in his lifetime, and possibly even less afraid of self-promotion.
- ZoFreX 16y agoHow could I forget Dali, him of the famous chequebook! Living quite a while seems to be as big a factor in gaining fame as an artist than anything else - this is also important to win a Nobel prize!
