Why don't they just stay at home and enjoy their art in their purest form? The answer is obvious. They want to make a living
...and, less cinically, because unexposed art isn't art. An artist who's never gonna show, present or somehow expose anything because he doesn't want to is simply not an artist even if he's the truest, has the best integruty and talent in the world. But what about the artists who don't make a living out of it and who are choosing it? Would you say, as I heard often from art historian or sociologist, that they are not artists just because they do have a day job to pay the bills? Olivier
