The question really is not simple. It turns out to live in prosperity can only be indulging the tastes of existing customers, but to make history, but creating something new that should change these preferences, and therefore has negligible chance of being well paid.

No, it does not work. Neither Yakovlev, to which a monetary success came after his death, or Soutine, no steel does not go on about the tastes of customers, simply at some point, they "noticed" - and selfishly add: Thank God - without them, life would be immeasurably poorer for me .
