How many artists and how much art would we lose if we removed their struggle and misery? We will never know.

Artists deserving to make a living wage? Why I never. You quiet your mouth old Mann. The elite is in power and we will tell you who will, and who won't. And stop y'all whining about a 50bn pocket money payout too. /s

Agreed. But I feel like it's kind of harder for artists to be more known on here.

I don't get how this would work. What about bad artists? Or lazy ones... Who is required to pay them if no one is interested in their work?

All of this. And not just the bare minimum. I'm so sick of how people have come to expect that there should just be people who are expected to not enjoy life but still do the jobs they don't want to do but want done.

Agreed, if some lucky sucker can sit on their ass for the rest of his life just cuz he/she got extra lucky that one time, artist who work full time should have chance to live off their craft.

If the world worked like that, they would be no one doing jobs that actually needs to people for it, and the art community would become even more competitive and force artist to leave it when they can't find work. This is just a child's dream,come back to reality and work hard to get famous for art

2/2 Musicians and writers are equally exploited. If you want to know how we went from being honored & paid for our craft to financial struggle & the ugliness of modernism, read this or listen to a 3 part series discussing the book on the Cave of Apelles podcast on YouTube. It’s life changing.

1/2 Many of us do. The problem is how much more other people make off of our work than we do. Example; a painting of mine sold for $65,000 at a major gallery. I received $10,000..two months later.The arts take years to master & materials costly.We have mortgages,car payments, health insurance, etc.
