"They have accepted the prevailing belief that art and writing are merely forms of entertainment. They’re not seen as transformative forces that can change a human being; that can change a society. They are seen as simple entertainment; things with which we can fill 20 minutes, half an hour, while we’re waiting to die. It’s not the job of the artist to give the audience what the audience wants. If the audience knew what they needed, then they wouldn’t be the audience. They would be the artists. It is the job of artists to give the audience what they need.”
-Alan Moore

What can a painting do to someone? According to his standards, what sort of visual art can possibly have this type of impact on someone? Are there examples of paintings with this level of profound importance?

I’m horrendously slow an even I simple figure drawing will take me upwards of 20 minutes to carve out with the soft brush tool
I used to be able to draw cool stuff in pen, now my pen drawings are illegible thanks to mistakes
I see clout-chasing as worse than death, but I also know I simply wouldn’t attract any fans that way. I’m slow, shit with color, and not as compelling as the top-tiers of artists who can make money that way
Many aspects of my art are getting worse: I can’t draw a good face anymore. I’ve drawn better faces four years ago as an absolute /beg/ than I did yesterday
