You know ,Van Gogh managed to sell probably just one painting while he was alive.Does that mean he was a failure? Maye according to the gorts.
May be his work ,his art’s financial failure is the testimony to its solemnity.
Is money,earning money the only yardstick?
I remember this dialogue from your favourite movie:
Simon Grim : I worked, while you sat back and comfortably dismissed the outside world as too shallow, stupid and mean to appreciate your ideas.
Henry Fool : Is that such a priority? Is that some sort of measure of a man's worth? To drag what's best in him out into the street so every average slob with some pretense to taste can poke it with a stick?
Take care.
