A good artist - a successful artist?

[DSF]

Well, AlexanderG, You and bent, "Van Gogh can not be called a professional ..." This is much: D: D: D
Let the theory - closer to practice. Personally, I am in all my creative biography sold through the gallery of three (3) work as well - in the form of the experiment. All the rest I was selling his paintings and sell himself directly, so to speak, "end user". Get paid directly into their hands, without intermediaries. Answer me the question: who makes my work "product"? What a diler /galerist? I made - I sold. That's the whole chain. You, AlexanderG, is not there. And, I hope, will not.

Samaia bol'shaia problema dlia vseh hudoznikov mira - razdelit 'esteticheskie i material'nye tsennosti.

For the first time I heard about it. You really think that there is such a problem? Who has inspired you, AlexanderG? I personally have no such problem.

Chital lektsii po art management v raznyh stranah, reaktsiia odinakovaia. Vse hudozniki, kak ot odnoi mamy.

I assure you that no sane artist for such a lecture will not go, because it is a waste of time. There is just go idle "from one mother."
      And the last. For some reason I think that with such "beliefs" You never meet a good artist. A pity ...

Semen Semenovich, Yes, we probably coincided precisely. On-line!

Ochen 'prosto: kogda vy krasite - vy hudoznik, kogda prodaiote - vy diler ili prodavets. Vy ispolniaete obe funktsii i prizrak AlexanderG prisutstvuet.

Kstati, esli vy obespechivaete svoio prozivanie, pitanie i pr - znachit vy uspeshnyi prodavets. Pozdravliaiu (iskrenne).

You really think that there is such a problem? - Ia ne dumaiu, a znaiu.

I assure you that no sane artist for such a lecture will not go, because it is a waste of time. There is just go idle "from one mother." - I takih bol'shinstvo. Chto takoe normal'nyi hudoznik?

And the last. For some reason I think that with such "beliefs" You never meet a good artist. A pity ... - oshibochka vasha.
Moih ubezdenii vy ne znaete.

A nschiot 'Van Gogh can not be called a professional', esli po opredeleniiu professional zarabatyvaet na zizn 'svoei professiei, to mozno i tak rassmatrivat'.

All right. You yourself are selling their work, get yourself on their work and, as one artist said, "Do not feed zahrebetnikov. But it is about you know only the person who bought your work. No one will know you on the art market. Varites you, so say in their own juice. Maybe you had enough. Then you are self-sufficient people. Perhaps you and the artists do not share facets of their work, and the exhibition altogether. Today you do not need. And tomorrow?
Ask any artist in the West and he will answer that work directly is the level of amateur. Everyone wants to get to the gallery - and the higher the level of the gallery, the more popular artist.

that you know only one who bought your work. No one will know you on the art market. You varites, so to speak, in its own juice.

and the exhibition does not spend.

I think the most important exhibition for the artist's successful sales.
I know writers who need but do not risk to sell its even promise to work for the exhibition. "That's after the show, please buy."

But this approach this ... All the old masters were doing just so and never sold the sketches and unfinished, in their opinion, work. And the show for them was (any) - sum up certain results ...

DSF, your example is more the exception to the rule than the rule. Most artists would be extremely unpleasant to the commercial process personally. Because they want to create his own paintings, rather than sell.
Although, if you are satisfied with simultaneous work of two professionals, there is nothing wrong with that. It is simply not typical.

personally, they want to create images, rather than sell.

  Trading on his paintings from this artist's simply no time. True, some get pritorgovyvat still strangers ...

We will give you a nasty thing: the gallery owners sniff each job to find fault with any nonsense with a clever look, take away a couple of the best paintings, but not those who need to sell, while with a look that makes you a favor ... Then keep them in closet for several months until the wall is released (and on the wall for decades hang "eminent"). While they make the border until you see their work on their hidebound wall - istreplesh all nerves, and until they sell something, so generally you can hang ... And when you sell itself, you can "vtyuhat" the weakest thing for a decent price, because personal contact - an important factor, you can tell a lie with the three boxes, and More people and say thank you, because the guests and neighbors praised ... So if for sale, the artist must either open its gallery, the majority of us does, or look for other ways how to sell yourself ... But if the world of glory, fame and recognition, of course, prestigious galleries and various exhibitions Amen ...

Now I'll tell you a nasty thing :............

You are further informed rather unpleasant thing for yourself. The word "vtyuhat" is for Andrew's descent, the Arbat, the Yalta embankment, etc. I do not know that you have there in Tel Aviv. If you have a gallery selects the best thing and then put in a closet - what garereya lives, because she had to sell. And why, in general, then take it. And "the most of artists, which opened gallery I have not seen anywhere else in the world. There is a unit - and those do not work very well. Because a successful artist bother administration, taxes, negotiations, etc. no time, and did not want to. Time is precious!
