Art doesn't just happen by accident. It is about pulling out new tricks and trying new things.
Art and commerce are not irreconciliable, they are inextricably intertwined.
First of all, I should preface this by the observation that artists are not the best judges of what they've done and the word definitive does not belong, in my opinion, in any conversation about art. When somebody says it's the "definitive" something, I'm always recoiling.
Leo Tolstoy said the purpose of art is to teach you to love life. And that's what I want.
What I want any genre to do, what I want any work of art to do, is to illuminate the human condition.
