At that living contemporary artists

[Seriy]

I think the profession of the artist depreciated, t e pay artists less and less. Rembrandt quietly at fair fees for custom portraits bought a house in the city center. Can an artist today to buy a house in central Moscow, just by drawing portraits?
So I read on Artinvest that to enter the top 50 world's most successful launches in his career, he had to sell through auctions at 50 000 euro works.
That's ridiculous! The young novice broker on the stock exchange earning as much in 1 day! and no-paint canvases ...
Simply, there are people who like to paint, but it is on the yield somewhere in the bottom of the list of occupations ...
