“artists dont work for the love of art anymore, they just rely on commissions and patrons”

this is how art has literally always been the fucking sistine chapel is commissioned fanart of the bible 

Not only was the Sistine Chapel Bible fanart, but the Vatican looked at Michaelangelo'Cathedral commission listing and saw that it said:
Will do:
Marble sculpture
Would prefer not to do:
Painting

And commissioned him for a giant ass painting.
Like yeah, we think of Michaelangelo as a painter, but it’s because the church kept paying him to paint. He thought he wasn’t that great at it. He preferred to sculpt. Like that was his jam. But noooooo the church wanted more paintings.

wow how Wacky is it that artists demand payment for labor given via a desirable skill, it’s almost like it’s a fucking job
