Forgive me but these comments always rankle me a bit. Most artists I know (and I am one) are craftsmen working hard at what they do. Even the famous ones and most well-known.
I recommend watching some artists documentaries and seeing that artists are not some high society snobs looking down on the viewer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN_rRCfRdmQ&list=PLP7RSttJ7Sy3zC6E4cXMaihbVREqbFCl2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN_rRCfRdmQ&list=PLP7RSttJ7S...
- robbrown451 6y agoI'm talking less about the artists than the people who, you know, spend $100 million on a Rothko. (and those that would like to have that kind of money so they could spend it on a Rothko) I'm sure the artist himself was sincere enough. I guess he worked hard, but his paintings don't impress me that he had such amazing talent or was such a craftsman, only that he managed to find a particular niche.
