Known any 'real' artist has breakthrough?


I noticed this film, "Great Expectations", been on TV a lot recently. My question is do you know any artists that has huge breakthrough like Finnegan "Finn" Bell (Ethan Hawke) does? I think that kind of impossible for this to happen unless one of the artists is very lucky.

Yes, it's me again. I know two artist who has breakthrough are Francesca Woodman (photographer) and Jean-Michel Basuiat (painter). Know any one else other than those two artist that has breakthrough?

reply

Probably Jackson Pollock he really exploded on the scene

Basquiat had a pretty big breakthrough. Tarentino was a pretty overnight success too.

It's very hard for an artist to come out of nowhere because of the costs of materials and the need to have connections. If you are an artist, usually, people know you from school, so they watched your development. It's challenging to come from outside the system. That's why there are so few examples.



No two persons ever watch the same movie.
