No. First - produce, then - the seller.

Still, perhaps, ask first ... There is an order - a job. Over time, the artist became more free, a relatively independent, but its development was due to painting customers. This is a historical fact.
Certainly, there are exceptions, particularly in Russia, but in my opinion - only thanks to the Council of Deputies. Personally acquainted with the artist, the first does not sell his works. The only case of the sale was caused by his wife's illness and the need to improve the living conditions (and even then, not sold, and changed some of their work at the apartment, all the work gone in one hand).
You do not necessarily dB business and paid for in cash. He ideological mb (Payable polit.sily support), environment (society) (paid attention and status), etc.
