Every artist will one day face the moment when he or she is doing what he or she does after the style has passed and the art-world heat-seeking machine has moved on. Lucian Freud’s career affirms that the only thing an artist can do is remain true to whatever vision, (lack of) talent, or ideas that happened to pick them in order to be made known to the world.

“Lucian Freud’s career affirms that the only thing an artist can do is remain true to whatever vision, (lack of) talent, or ideas that happened to pick them in order to be made known to the world.”
Great quote! I just hope that my ” vision, (lack of) talent” gets me as far as it got Freud 8-)
“(lack of) talent”
“So hot right now”
“… in order to be made known to the world.”
This does seem to be the goal of many in the arts today. For the majority of artists (fame focused or not) obscurity may be more inline with reality.
