It is very difficult to judge the inconsequential artist, who has the now as his only reality and adopts a financially irresponsible stance. Whether one admits it or not, financial prudence is a bet. Frugality, thrift, slowly building a small patrimony is to bet that there will be a future and that, in it, it will be possible to dedicate oneself entirely to art, even if not a penny is extracted from it. The truth is that, under no circumstances, the artist can allow himself to waste the now, and must always work on the best ideas he has, even if for a short time, far from the ideal; because, just as the future is a possibility, there is also the possibility that he will never enjoy such “ideal” conditions.
