RE: I Don't Always Share Art, But When I Do...
Thank you for sharing the art and the story. I enjoyed it very much. The part of trading the piece for a bicycle light is really so important to me. I think it tells a lot about the artist and his vision. That probably meant more than money to him.
It sure did. Since he was facing homelessness a second time, he wanted an affordable way to stay mobile at all times. I think he traded another piece of artwork for a pull cart for his bicycle so he would have the means to transport his work to various places. It is a rough world out there for artists. I know, because I always want to help them but rarely have the monetary ability to actually improve their lives for the long-term.
This might be unrelated, but I was always curious how the art world would be affected if we had a money-less society. Would artwork be any different if the incentive to make it changed?
Thanks for the comment. It is well appreciated. Take care! <3
