Gerhart ! Painting will never be out, it may be on hold for many people but for some of us it will always talk to us as long as artists like you live " Long live Painting"

Yes, sustainability would be a factor, but then I am reminded of Chuck Close saying that going into the studio every day is part of being successful, that artists should not wait for inspiration, and that inspiration is for amateurs. Thanks for your response - Ron

It's a frequently made comparison - what it would take for me/us to do what he/she/they do. In abstract work it's often a short distance, as you allude to. Art creation is as subjective as art appreciation. Art marketability and notoriety are no different. There's often a "lightning in a bottle" for art fame... the right persona, the mystique of the artist, the time period, the culture which embraces their art, how vocal key critics/fans can be. That becomes 10% art with 90% "something more."

That's exactly what I mean. To sustain the drive and work one can not use "inspiration". That's something else from the unconscious perhaps and it's not sustainable. It's extremely hard to enter a studio day after day and make a new work of art. Like setting out on a marathon that has no end.

I've watched Richter work. I realize abstract art is not something any one can do, but I am almost certain, based on my own talents, that I could produce works of equal quality if I had the money for enromous volumes of paint and the space to work. The only difference between my work and Richter's work would be how well he markets his work - which cost money, too.

It's not about just "producing" works. As Tracey Emin explained years years ago, it's having that "Seminal Idea". Each piece is a culmination of everything that came before. It stems from, consists of, the entire life of the artist. In my opinion, it's NOT the piece that defines the work, it's the Artist himself. The work is a piece of, an extension of the Artist. Artists are driven by an indefinable, energy that comes from within. It's not something one wakes up and decides to be. The Artist IS. Having over thirty years experience as a below average artist, mostly a mediocre painter, I feel that saying "I could produce works of equal quality if........." is an asinine remark. The fact is, you haven't. Richter and many others, have. I truly feel you're missing the point.

{continued} So, even if you or I recreated faithfully the pieces you see in Herr Richters' abstracts we'd be missing not the tools or end-product but that 90% lightning in a bottle. Also, we'd not be new or original. We'd be seen as inspired-by at best, copying at worst. It's a mildly acknowledged set of ingredients that 90%. However, it's such a tough field to make money in, in general. Mega-fame and fortune often, truly depend on that 90% all coming together in the artist's favor.

You most likely would not have the drive to sustain it and that is also what makes the artist. A sustained behaviour. It's not something you can just do by choice even if you do have talent.

I wouldn't say you are in the same league. artists are like famous brands.. e.g. nike, adidas, prada, Coco Chanel etc.. people would prefer the real thing. artists in the same sense create from their extensive knowledge acquired throughout their artists career. they make works of art that are unique to the artist, made by the artist in his or her own unique way. it may seem simple, but because there is only one of them in the world it makes it that much more important..and rare.
