Even here in NZ we know that the WPA schemes were the absolute nadir of American art.

I want my employer to be too stupid to take free money.

But "money never comes at the hands of a benefactor strings"!
If your benefactor strings have hands then it's time to cut down on the ketamine.

But "money never comes at the hands of a benefactor strings"!

This is why there was no Renaissance or associated woodcuts.

Another comment on that thread: "Sacrificing for your art" should not include self-sacrificing your life and soul to the service of The Dark One.

I prefer not to read Harry Potter slashfic.

It probably is hard to make it rich as a marionette manipulator*.

Gorilla theatre

(yeah, yeah, yeah, but you all wanted to do it, didn't you?)

mikey said...

Ah, indeed. But the more important question here is simply this:

Is is ever worth self sacrificing your benefactor strings?

Oh, look it's "Morning Edition"'s Steve inesseep

Never, never, never take money for art! You must die of starvation so that you can be properly recognized by snobs who will pay squillons for your art and sneer about taking money for art.

Benefactor strings with hands!

Substance McGravitas said...

George and Oprah are notably successful puppeteers...

herr doktor bimler said...

Should I go searching on the Interducts for youtube clips of the dirty puppeteering scenes from Being John Malkovich? Or should I just sit here drinking Austrian beer? Decisions, decisions.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Austrian beer?

You know who else drank austrian beer?

HITLER, THAT'S WHO!

mikey said...

Austrian beer, ho hum.

Let me know when you get your hands on some of that righteous Austrian Grapefruit Juice...
