EACH ACT OF ARTISTIC CREATION supports
publishers, critics, libraries, galleries, dealers, playhouses, concert halls, printers,
framers, ushers, cleaners, academics, art councils, organisers of cultural exchanges,
arts administrators, Ministers for the Arts and so forth.... the weight can seem
excessive, the rewards astonishingly little, and society's expectations that the
artist will do it for free (or just enough to keep them subsisting and still producing)
for sheer abstract love of form and beauty.... Art, oh Art – while those who are
parasitical upon the artist steal ownership of the work, credit for the ideas...
and command for themselves adulation, high salaries and higher status... oh, intolerable,
extraordinary!
(freely adapted from Mr. O Wilde)
