And of course there were artists who didn’t earn a living from their art, but still made art.
Wonderfully, there is now technology that makes it near zero cost to replicate their art and make infinite copies. Thus allowing great art to be created outside of commercial models.
Imagine if all the shower singing in the world could mix together and self arrange into symphonies that anyone could search and listen to for free. From shower singers who choose to share their songs, of course.
- auggierose 5y agoNo thank you, I don't need any shower singing art. Art costs. Great art costs a lot. You might not be willing to pay the price for great art, but somebody is paying that price. Even if it is just the artist.
- throwmeariver1 5y agoA lot of great art is free what you mean is the art perceived as "expensive" by the art industry. Cisco vs OpenSource...
- auggierose 5y agoNo, what I mean is that producing great art usually has a high cost. A particular work of art might have been created just in the spur of a moment, but the artist getting to that point usually had a cost, too. Consuming art often is free indeed, but this should not be confused with the cost of producing it, and I had the feeling that the comment I originally answered to did just that.
- throwmeariver1 5y agoNo you just believe art must have a value either from the artists skillset or materials and this is just not true at all.
- auggierose 5y agoWe seem to talk past each other. That's ok.
- yesenadam 5y agoYou could listen to what auggierose is saying instead of just repeatedly telling him what he really means. Then this exchange might have value.
- prepend 5y agoNot all Great art costs a lot. Some does, but it’s not exclusive. Take a look at spontaneous graffiti murals. I’ve seen some amazing ones that were made with stolen paint. The artist used their time because they love the art. Just like many open source developers donate their time and there are many great projects that don’t cost. But, of course, some do.
