Juraj Ma is art a field? is it a viable profession or is it a whim that is only possible when the rich don’t know what to do with their money? In the next financial crisis usually people can’t afford to be artists. Reality is how it is not how we would wish it to be.
Art has always been viable as a field Juraj Ma … but not always marked by financial success. But art informs and educates, leads and creates new ways of thinking … art is the basis of commercialism too, advertising and architecture are two big examples
Juraj Ma Leigh G Banks i put it to you that it has descended to little more than sucking up to the rich to win commissions, an economy of controversy and infamy, famous for being famous. I mean come on, Tracy Emin… A way for boring accountants who help others avoid taxes to buy themselves a semblance of quirkiness. Their output will not be picked up in the future as interesting or beautiful. Banksy maybe has a chance.
skill also seems to have left the building which adds to the artifice.
Interesting point Juraj Ma but art has always had that element, from da Vinci to Caravaggio, from Picasso to Dylan … creativity needs to eat … acting is art, music is art – both can bring you big bucks, so can writing, if you get lucky. The idea has always been to avoid compromise … but that is tempered by the right to survive… the internet has destroyed many skills, it’s up to us to fight back and rescue them…
