/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Capitalism is only tangentially related to quality of art. 90% of richest and/or most popular artists are hacks who do not deserve what they have and are not even remotely close to the top level. They did not get wherever they are on the merit of their own work, they did it by kissing asses, sucking dicks and pandering.

Only a person willing to abandon everything on their road for perfection can be considered a true master and a very big chunk of those people are relatively poor.

An amateur bound by the deception of inherent value of their art (one of the biggest fuckups of western capitalist society as far as culture goes) is nothing but a paypig existing only to get milked by corporations and aforementioned "successful" fakes.
