I love reading about art history; both fiction and nonfiction. The key takeaway is the art critic is paid about as well as the artists are paid; poorly. Who wants to get paid as an art critic is a different question than who wants to be one. What if there were a unified basic income and we could work at what sustains us in place?
The idea of a unified basic income is very appealing. It would be lovely to explore this principle in real life. I wonder if there have been any test cases.
Besides experiencing art in the real world, I'm also very interested in reading about it. In my teens I think I read every historical romance novel they had in the local library!
Several test cases by cities in the US already and the state of Minnesota is considering such proposed legislation. I think the time has come to consider it.
I know people earn a healthy income from Substack but that’s not my motivation for being here. For now, I enjoy writing to some kind of discipline and posting on a monthly (almost) basis. I love the connection I get here with other writers. As for art, I love it but ‘know’ very little about it other than what I like. I have recently of ekphraesis I think the word is, writing inspired by looking at art and I think this could be a very useful stimulus for creative writing. Not done any yet mind!
I agree that Substack is a good platform on which to maintain the discipline of writing regularly. It's also given me the courage to explore subjects and ideas around Place Writing on a public platform, and I have to say that I'm enjoying it.
