Well you all know, the great Paul Gauguin was a banker and 40 years .. almost sells tomatoes ..

Specifically, birzhivym broker, successful. And before that, a sailor, or rather an officer's merchant fleet.

Cyril Syzransky, a slightly different question: whether the combined Gauguin for Taite and painting with other classes .. and how it influenced his thinking tvorchestvo.Ya avocation Gauguin in Tahiti only helped, of course undermine health, but the painting turned out great.

You can be a seller of tomatoes, and still be a great artist.

It depends on who gave the artist a definition of "great".
If history, then of course he to selling tomatoes.
If contemporaries, then why him to sell tomatoes.
If he himself, then he best selling tomatoes.

AlexanderG I'd like to say that the wording of your question, just not suited to the artist. Case misrepresented that then we can say that a good manager, a successful manager, a good carpenter, a successful carpenter, and up to infinity. And if you suddenly become that a good artist, a successful artist, then it turns out that a good man, a successful person. And this, I want to believe it-an incorrect assertion. What do you think about this?

Dear Sirs, art dealers, let's all still "separate flies from cutlets", as now, they say. As soon as someone starts saying that "art is measured only artistic value", you pull in his words: "This is a forum site" Investing in art. " Site of the Russian art market. Like, do not load us here ... and let me have a little bit cool. Why did you allow yourself to talk about that artist may or may not be what he thinks and what lives there? Is it easy or difficult it? What suits him and that does not fit?
"For a true artist to create a masterpiece is much easier than selling tomatoes. "He began to grow tomatoes there .. Sex takes up 24 hours a day .. when the work of writing it is not clear .. "" Artist of the one who sees and hears. He who thinks, and is not afraid to invent the idea to the end.
Where did you know? You know what, where and when to sell. So write about it. This forum and interesting. The artist's life leave alone, it is you still unavailable. Their motivation, you do not understand.
Everyone must do his own thing.
Sorry if there was a bit harsh, I clearly express his thought and more support and cute girls Gala Ninni.

So why leave it alone?
This is an interesting topic, your opinion, what was the motivation for P. Gauguin in Tahiti ..? And why Gauguin paintings are among the most expensive in the world?

I agree with every word. Thank you for your support
"Caesar - Caesar and God - the Gods"
People are all different. Different artists, different dealers, lovers of both same-different ... and motivation of each is difficult not only understand but accept.
  The only sure that the bad is the dealer and awful that the artist if the primary motivation for their works - material. Without love and devotion to the good result unlikely.

Why so much pathos? Yes, and what conclusions?
As in a bad movie: with a catch. V. Lanovoy as VP Korchagin ...
