*I am surprised you feel all artists are annoyed and unhappy.* come on scottie. They could all be taken down a notch-off their high-horse.
*Yes, there were artists who were not appreciated in their time that we now think were brilliant but they were the minority. A very tiny minority.* Paul Gaugan was a perfect example. Used everyone and died poor. Pervert too. R U listening scottie?
*Artists—like everybody else—are on a normal curve.* Think song and dance. Most of them went into acting as the jobs dried up. Think Dick Van Dyke/Ken Berry/Gomer Pyle.
Artists have a lot more free time on their hands. Their creative gene can’t be interrupted with everyday things to do.
