My impression is there are plenty of conservative artists who quietly do their work and sell their work to a discreet set of patrons.
socialist artists tend to be loudmouths and seek to attract attention precisely because no one wants to buy their junk.
dealers love the loudmouths because it’s sooo much easier to make money to new rich with more money than sense
I’m in an art group locally ... the leader is not only an awesome painter but a genuine sold-out Jesus freak :-) On Facebook I see her post some middle of the road to conservative thoughts ... and her fellow artists totally rip on her. Her graciousness under fire makes those responders look shrill and petty.
