Because most “artists” secretly want to be rich and famous.

But all other “artists” should be “starving artists.”

Their hatred, like most hatred, is rooted in “coveting.”

I always guessed most modern artist hated him because his art was loved by the “common man”.

His art did not offend the sensibilities of the traditional folk. It wasn’t dangerous and it did not challenge traditional values.

It was too commercial and expressed traditional themes.

In a few words it was not liberal.
