[LAU] re Subconscious Affecting Music

[Louigi Verona]

To me the trademark of the XX century art is money. Instead of thinking
about saying important things, art became about selling. Excuse the very
commonly brought up thought, but commercial art sucks. It kills the whole
essence of what art is, the essence of spiritual expression and search. In
fact, in minds of many people it is so dead already, that it is quite fine
for an artist to withdraw his creations simply because he did not get money
or fame or whatever he is trying to sell. I do not understand how a real
artist can choose to withdraw his work from the public because he did not
get enough money. And I predict many people would be ready to tell me the
good old "you want artists to starve?". Just for the clarity - I don't. But
commercial art is not art and those products are not worth anybody's
attention. Even the best of them.
