RE: 300+ Ways to Make Female Artists Look Like Idiots
Nowadays, both art and artists have no value. My sister is also an artist, but no one is willing to buy her art, and gradually her paintings are falling into disrepute, which is why she is quite generous and gifts her paintings to others for free. I stopped her on this, and she said that it is better to give them as a gift than to keep them at home and have them go to waste.
If a painting is well executed, or if a piece of art is well executed, then of course it is not rubbish and will not fall into disrepair. The problem with buying art is that you have to sell yourself as well as your art, and you have to get out there rather than sit at home waiting to be discovered – that’s not how it works. So giving some of it away for free can, of course, be a way to build a reputation, but in that case you haven’t paid for your materials.
I don’t agree with you that art and artists are worthless and that there’s no money to be made from them; on the contrary. When it comes to getting rich, art ranks fourth! So there is certainly a lot of money in the art world. The question is how you can be part of that, and for that you’ll probably need to be discovered by someone influential.
You may be right, but the problem is that my sister is not very social and does not go out of the house much. It was very difficult for her to go to university just to study art because both the house and the children were disturbed. Before going to university, she would do all the housework and after coming back from university, she would finish the rest of her work and sit down to teach the children. All her time would be spent with the children. After that, only the time left for art was to sleep at night, which she would give to her art instead of sleeping. This is the reason why she does not have any time to go anywhere else and contact anyone, due to which her art is being wasted.
This is exactly what most artists struggle with, they are introverts or focused on their work if not obsessed and they do not like to promote themselves. That is why there art promoters. It is a bit pity of her study.
She could show them on Steemit on Art & Artists @hive-120695. You never know.
Yes I know but her steemit account is not working
