He has made a profession out of a business and an art out of a profession.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The business of art is to reveal the relation between man and his environment.
As an artist, you want to make good stories and create good art; as a businessman, you want to make money and make sure the investors are happy. The two will always clash, unfortunately.
Making a living in the arts, though, creates so many jobs for other people.
Art dealing is when you're doing it as a business.
The lawyer has not reached the height of his vocation who does not find therein... scope for a peculiar but genuine artistic function.
I think that being a producer is business and being an actor is art.
Art is a private thing, the artist makes it for himself; a comprehensible work is the product of a journalist. We need works that are strong, straight, precise, and forever beyond understanding.
Work can take on a new dimension if you know something about the artist.
Art is not in some far-off place. A work of art is the expression of a man's whole personality, sensibility and ability.
You're an artist when you're writing, a businessperson the rest of the time.
