A good artist - a successful artist?

[DSF]

Thank you, dear Art-lover! Your messages are always interesting to read, and with many of them I agree. But on this issue with me, all the same, another view. I'll try to decrypt it.

In my previous post, I wanted to say that such an assertion ( "Talent is realized in any case, he will find the necessary funds") as it removes from us (with the artist's environment, with society as a whole) the responsibility for the fate of talented artists, t . k. implies some kind of fatality, or the realization of their talent ...
Some of the artists to realize their goals may require large canvases, paints and tools are not cheap, and a long time.

This attitude is very like the artists. Artists like to have them worn, their oblaskivayut, glorify, talk about their exclusivity and universal responsibility for their fate. It's nice, I will not hide. Under this case as well is a song about that, they say, time is not something people are ignorant, patrons no, I do not understand the genius, etc., but if I would give money, but bigger canvas, so paint expensive, so I would then have shown you ... It's all so familiar .... However, I prefer the words of Michelangelo: "There is no single idea in the world, which would be impossible to express with a piece of marble." There is no specific beautiful problems and ideas, which require some special colors or sizes. "However, enough apple on the edge of the table. Cezanne created masterpieces with apple and models, from which I would be turned away! "Size needed for one thing, as we have said, the artists, preparing for the next regional exhibition now three feet by four - all in the ass hit.

if their work did not support its infancy some philanthropist - talent can not be revealed.

We can not say whether the talented artist N, until we see that he made. We can talk any amount that would have created an artist H, if, yes if only ... It's just hot air.
  "The painter is counted only what he captured on canvas. And it has nothing to do with dreams. His area - this neat colors, divorced decent, linseed oil and lightly - turpentine. There comes a time when the artist turns out to be one on one with a blank canvas, and at this moment the entire husk flies (though this is, few people can see), any patron with his billions will not help here.
Therefore, with this definition of talent: "A talented artist - it is such an artist who was able to be realized," I completely agree. If not able to be realized - was not talented.
And another quote: "When a man wants to achieve something, he does not measure the success of its size earnings. Twenty years in a row I did not buy paintings. My meals were scarce. There was no money, but I never thought about it, I thought about what my achievements in painting. " Here is the artist - was realized.
