@Greenseer @CriticalCupcake Imagine if for reasons of a changed culture or economy our art could be restored to an expressive form of play, and we didn't have to always try to rival or top the last thing. The intrinsic drive is just to make for the sake of making. The intrinsic fear is usually that you won't get it all out before something happens to you, age or injury. If that were all artists had to face I think we'd have more art, and more great art. 3 comments
 @Greenseer @cwicseolfor @CriticalCupcake All the more reason to dump capitalism as an economic form of government, in favor of a communal based one where money doesn't determine success or survival in our society. Freed from having to chase money, all kinds of artistic (and other) benefits abound. @504DR @cwicseolfor @CriticalCupcake Yep! Capitalism kills art.. but is very good at creating the illusion of great artists, providing they play the game |

@cwicseolfor @CriticalCupcake Absolutely, if it were left to the muse we'd have much more art, many more artists, but perhaps fewer artists consistent or productive enough to make a living from it, because I suspect that muse tends not to accompany people on a permanent basis
