Art vs Artist
Attention and popularity are two different things .
Artist loves when people pay attention to his Art , but never wants to get popular because popularity is always about the artist .
"We have art so that we don’t of reality" said Freidrich Nietzsche , and the whole act of paying attention to something is actually like taking break from reality , taking break from all the rush .
Art is not an escape from reality , it just mirrors the reality in the most beautifull and mysterious ways and we can understand that only when we pay attention without just getting entertained by it ,it enables us to rethink the whole idea of life and reality through Imagination and thought , it a way to discover ourselves by this momentary breaks from reality . and An artist give us tools to make that happen .
But popularity makes an artist to do what people like , what sells more , in this whole chaos of popularity artist forgets what he actually wanted to say And When an artist gets popular he pollutes the art by his own biography. As oscar wilde rightly said " To reveal the art and conceal the artist is arts aim".
