All That Jazz – digital painting / art prints – 2006 – Dan Beck
I happened upon an article today – actually it happened upon me by having ages ago signed up for related stories at googlealert.com.
The story is about how it isn’t enough to be a good musician, one must make oneself heard – creating or developing venues as necessary.
Art is no different I think – it is not enough just to create wonderful art – it must be viewed. By its very nature, all art requires an audience; and even the artist as audience, though sometimes sufficient, views in the context of his own culture.
But having said all that it doesn’t make it easier for an artist to both have to pioneer with his art and with creating his own audience – they are sadly not always compatible.
