Art is a field which the society measures by how many paintings you have sold. As 'a successful show' is the one that has many works sold. Why i wonder many artists are recognised when they have struggled for many years and now their works are shoot…
It depends on the artist's goal. Is he/she painting for pleasure or painting hoping to sell. If selling is one's measure of success then marketing strategies are certainly more important. A good marketing strategy can sell most anything good or bad.
Art is a expression of the artist No rules, no holds barred, it is very difficult to paint according to what can sell ... it feels as if you have sold your soul.

Welcome Aboard. I only started this start 9.00pm GMT Thursday 22nd October 2008 and I am proud to have so many artists join in such a short time. Although now semi-retired, I act as an artist recruiter for a couple of websites. I live in Hastings on the South Coast of England, you know, Battle of Hastings, William the Conqueror, 1066 and all that. I am a writer.
It occurred to me that some sort of network was needed for artists, photographers, writers and poets to pool ideas, exchange views and promote their work. It is new and we will go along together, tell me what you require and we will see if we can do it. It is free; I know that artists are poor penniless souls working in lonely garrets, living on tins of cold baked beans, so I do not want to add to their worries. What I will do, as I have done before is to place the site in the view of art buyers, interior design companies and such like.
