Also this is tangential but The Incredibles is a bad movie with a godawful social darwinist message and when people quote it uncritically they're not making the point they think they're making

I dunno if you really wanna pick the guy who died without a penny to his name and a guy whose most famous peices include commission work when you're sounding off about artists wanting to be paid?

We'd have more Van Goh masterpieces if he got paid and less if Da Vinci didn't but go off I guess?

Didn't at least one of those guys die penniless and miserable?

Didn't Van Gogh only become a big deal after his death? IIRC he only ever sold one painting in his life and that was to his brother who lied about selling it to make Vincent feel better.

Van Gogh fucking killed himself because his life was an endless parade of rejection and failure aggravating his existing mental illness into an unceasing living hell

What a weird misapplication of the Incredibles quote (which is ill-defined and kind of shitty); everyone is an artist if they create art. I don't use the word to describe my personal creative pursuits because I prefer the more specific "comedy writer," but it definitely applies.

Van Gogh and Picasso were also roundly criticized and considered "not real artists" by a lot of people, and some still scoff at Picasso's better-known works. "Real artist" is so completely made up.
