SteveARTISTS - and by that I mean all creative people, not just image-makers - are not only the architects of tomorrow's reality, but a barometer by which we can guage the spiritual & mental health of a society. They are the unseen helmsmen that steer us toward new realities.
In a totalitarian society, artists that serve this function are suppressed, and subjugated to the will of the state. This action alone is adequate proof of the importance of art, for if it had no importance, no influence, why would the powers-that-be exert so much effort to control it? Art is communication, but not just any communication: it is communication in its purest, highest form. That is why a totalitarian government will attempt to harness it to their own purposes.
In a capitalist society, artists that know how to use the system will fluorish and prosper; although, unfortunately, many artists find that their orientation is more geared to making art than promoting it properly and adhering to sound business practices. Thus, in a profit-oriented society, artists are often disillusioned by lack of material success, and often have to work at other jobs in order to make ends meet. This can sometimes generate negative feelings toward such a society, as the artist's role in determining the future of society is not adequately appreciated. So artists in a free society sometimes tend to lean to the left politically, seeking support from society as a whole rather than from individual patrons.
If you see a circular pattern forming here, artists in a suppressive society yearning to be free and free artists yearning for support, I believe you are right; but as the true expression of self relies ultimately upon freedom, the ideal scene would encompass educating artists in the "art" of managing their affairs and activities so that they are better able to profit from their own efforts. A really intelligent society, though, would provide tax benefits, perhaps even total exemption, to those creative souls among us who serve to make this world a better place to live.
