So does the modern artist to be able to draw?

[DSF]

Anyone who deals with the modern "relevant directions" is not obliged to draw, and, accordingly, should not. Not for him the money is paid. The main thing - the ingenuity and business qualities. If an artist wants to remain within the traditional painting (ie, colors on the surface), it would be better able to draw. Knowledge of crafts and technology must be an artist, as in the work should not be "anti-material".
Cezanne: "Having the temperament of the painter and the ideal of art, that is, the concept of nature, we still own the means of expression to be understood by the general public and take the appropriate place in the history of art." "The soul does not write, write the body, and when the body is written well, hell, the soul, if it is, will glow and appear throughout.
But, since now for the ability to draw money does not pay, and pay for the ability to properly "promote" their products, whatever it was, pasta or paintings, paint is not required. One can well do without it. So many people simply do not want to strain. No sense.
