Artist Chuck Close argues that times of financial distress do not necessarily trigger monumental artistic achievement. But he does say that the best time to make art is when the conventional wisdom says that it's dead. In association with The Big Think.
It's easy to say this when you are a financially independent and dont have to worry about selling to put food on the table.
but agree, it sorts out the weak from the strong. the true art and the false.
