The Artist’s obligation is towards their art
Not to a demand
Nor a trend
And certainly not another’s opinion
What if the Artist’s obligation changes?
When a studio molds itself into a factory
Does the Artist name themself as the Producer?
Most would be certain to say
A certain feeling towards Art would decay
A sadness would grow
Would the Producer get lost in their success
Or would the Artist persevere and show?"
