An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The artist belongs to his work, not the work to the artist.
Artists usually don't make all that much money, and they often keep their artistic hobby despite the money rather than due to it.
Being an artist is in part an act of rupture.
You must speak the vision of your project in a way that convinces people to pay for it. If they won't pay for it, that is the artist's fault. It is my fault. It is your fault. It is not the executive's fault or the world's.
The real artist has no idea that he is sacrificing himself for art. He does what he does for one reason and one reason only-he can't help doing it.
The artist is not responsible to any one. His social role is asocial... his only responsibility consists in an attitude to the work he does.
An artist is his own fault.
No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.
You don't make any money being an artist. Writing and producing? You get your money from that. You live comfortable.
What the artist owes the world is his work; not a model for living.
