| Herr Epsilon | Here are a few thoughts:
Historically speaking, the necessity of work has often been understood as a curse. For example, the French word travail comes from a root meaning pain, suffering, or even torture. Money quantifiably represents a restitution of time unbound by this curse, and is earned by either devoting time bound to the curse oneself, or by stealing time from others.
Artists, musicians, jokers - if they were doing it by trade, and not just as recreational side activities - they used to have a rather bad standing in society. Often, they were put in the same box as beggars, shady magicians, or snake-oil merchants. In short, they were associated with trying to make an easy buck with low effort, which for most of them ended in the exact opposite. Being a lonely artist traveling the lands, going from place to place to find an audience, never being able to settle down - it's not an easy life. And the possibility of going astray is high. |

| Herr Epsilon | If you think about it, this has never really changed. Look at the Hollywood machinery as the symbol for pop culture in general, and see how many unspoken tragedies it produces.
Look at the state of the internet, where heaps of talented and semi-talented people are fiercely battling for a bit of attention from someone.
Now there were stretches of time where artistic expression was much more praised and celebrated. The 90s were a flourishing time for artists of all kinds. If you could even draw just one straight line back then, you would have immediately found a job at some animation studio, advertising agency, etc. But we are just now slowly leaving this high (which has been dragging on for too long anyways). Many aren't seeing it yet, but I believe the days of pop culture as we know it are numbered. Corona, along with other now accelerating changes is resetting the entire cultural, societal, and political landscape.
This is what someone who wants to be an artist needs to understand to weigh the possibilities rightly:
1) Society does not need art. Art needs a society to look at it.
2) In times of settlement and peace, art flourishes. In times of uncertainty and war, the artist dies.
3) In exchange to another's attention and time, the artist should provide something wise, paradigm-shifting, eye-opening even if uncomfortable. This is his service to society.
4) The potential to be an artist lies dormant in everyone. I for one would prefer living in a world where there are no stages, but everyone's an artist to those arround them. |
