Mood: Determined
The hard glare of publicity and the ravages of the cult of personality in our society wrecks many artists. They have to be strong and their art has to be strong and vital to survive. The great process of mass popularity and mass culture has a vicious tendency to demean art. When you appealto the mass you usually appeal to the least common denominator. It is a tribute to the artist who does not do this and never has. They are living proof that quality has a place in mass society. And in some mystical way, perhaps, their success with quality is a reaffirmation of the basic,positive good of life itself.
