A good artist - a successful artist?

[iosif]

LCR,
Given that basically agree, I think that the artist gallery owner, still not the breadwinner. As well as a gallery owner and artist.
(I am talking only about the Earth (unearthly - that is another question.) And of an earthly success (both tangible and intangible: for with "unsuccessful" work of an artist simply remain an unknown, as if it was not at all)).
So, in this formulation of the problem no one no one provider. Artist and gallery owner - it is just "sweet couple," sworn friends, brothers-robbers, Siamese twins - both want to call it - doomed to a life interaction. With all associated with it, joys and neglect.
P.S. Yesterday I handed in publishing the novel, where in particular, dealt with this issue. With some fear sent him to Igor Sapunkovu on "internal review" - we build relationships with them not quick and easy. Today he unsubscribed, which agrees with the above, rather than disagree.
