The rule in the art world is: you cater to the masses or you kowtow to the elite; you can't have both.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Art is for the elite because it has a very high price-point of entry. And when one is in that social strata, they look down at illustrators because they just draw things directly for a few hundred dollars, and that's seen as being a bit grubby. Galleries allow artists to stay relatively divorced from the financial aspects of their trade.
Everyone has the impulse to be elite.
I think this confusion leads intellectuals and artists themselves to believe that the elite arts and humanities are a kind of higher, exalted form of human endeavor.
An elite is someone who's for themselves and not for the country.
What's wrong with being elitist if you are trying to encourage people to join the elite rather than being exclusive?
Our individual lives cannot, generally, be works of art unless the social order is also.
You don't have a balanced life if you don't have art.
Why should be elite, music? Excuse me. Music must be for everybody.
Most rules that you think are written in stone are just societal. You can change the game and really reach for the stars and make the world a better place.
The great thing about this thing we call art is that it has no rules.
