“The artist has been fighting this age-old battle of revelation and redemption vs. temptation and fall, in the field of representation, as well as in the Real. The artist’s ego has been the enemy that all too often has succumbed to the Other in return for recognition. It is too common a story to need elaboration, in which the more successful the artist is, the more he or she is tempted to sell out: their paintings go up in value, they start to make money, and then they get seduced by fame and fortune and begin to betray their own conscience in order to hold on to the limelight.”
