Until then it's an obsession.

Journal Entry: Sun Mar 27, 2011, 8:53 AM
Shocked to come across this on dA:

"Art isn't art until it's sold. Until then it's an obsession and a storage problem."

WHilLE I don't agree with the first part ( I personally LIKE to hoard my art sometimes )  How many of you can relate?
Deviant Art is testament to this statement's folly.
Here's some art that will never just be in storage.

Food for thought. We tend to value things by price in Western cultures. The Emperor's New Clothes, and all that. Sales are cool--don't get me wrong--but sometimes stuff is behind or ahead of its time, eh?

Art is not a thing, it is a way of life.
People who spout such silliness do not understand this concept apparently.

Yes! A way of being, to my mind.

I think art becomes art when someone enjoys doing it, receiving it, buying it.... i don't think it has to be bought to be considered art- i mean, look at so much of the art we see around us? and the art that was done in castles, cathedrals, in hospitals, on the ground, on the side of the building? someone put it there because THEY called it art, and they wanted to share it with the world....


i love art. i love doing art. sometimes i like rustic art, early things people do, because, it has their heart and soul that shows through in their art.
