More than money an artist need appreciations & applause from the audience.

I agree. Applause satisfies the artist that we like his performance. We lose nothing by saying a few words of praise.

Even the best of the seasoned performers in different fields of entertainment wait for that most sonorous sound of the applause which makes the performing artist feel high.

i agree, this is true for armature artists, as for professionals, they will laugh unless a hefty some is offered they will never agree to perform. Applause or appreciation come only secondary to them.

I beg to differ with you. Beethoven, the deaf Musician who is hailed as the greatest Musician of the world, was once presenting his symphony in Dusseldorf before the creme de la creme of the Musicians of his time. At the end of the symphony, being deaf could not hear the standing ovation of his audience. He was crest fallen. It was only after his assistant told him that the audience payed him rich tributes through thunderous ovation, Beethoven had a smile.
Amateur or a hard core professional think that an applause is the only thing that creates waves of happiness. Of course those who laugh at the sight of the hefty pay only are there in plenty. But History never recorded nor regarded them as Artists.

You don't have to differ with me, but that is the trend of modern day professionals, try to bring any celebrity even for a marriage function without paying them and see what I mean. They want money first, applause and praises are only secondary.

Yes. I'm not oblivious of their presence. As a cultural secretary of Vizag cultural organization I brought many national and international cultural celebrities from Birju Maharaj to pandit Jasraj for a cultural event. All of them are those about whom you mentioned.. I differed with you for the simple reason to emphasize that there are exceptions though in less number.

You are coorect so far as modern day world id concerned. Now everthing is commercialized and so money is above everything. People will be happy even to get money for getting defeat or abuse. How else we can explain cricket match fixing?

Very correct in case of cricket betting. There are people definitely who care a pin for money and those are so modest that they wouldn't agree to come in to light. And I know them. And he suffered from penury. But never distanced himself from his ideology. What I said was they are less in number.

Dear members yes, money is an important part in today's circumstances. Of course people look for money and the amount no matter what work they do. But I am talking about the internal satisfactions which truly comes on artist face when he/she gets the appreciations. Even those artist who demand money, they come perform and go. If they do not get the appreciations and applause from the audience, they never feel satisfied even though get the amount he demanded.

I agree with you. Even a hard core professional artist whose first and only preference is money earning, will look for an appreciation and recognition from the corner of his eye during his performance. Money earning becomes stale after a certain stage but never a word of appreciation or a standing ovation.

If artist prefer appreciation than wealth how can he live as for food it costs and now it costs more due to continuous rise of inflation, if artist does not prefer money, slowly, he will be dieing without food, then it is premature death of talent and what is the cost of talent, artist should prefer money and it is for sure just like when a topper student asks the reason for success, he would say it is due to teacher, and the concerned teacher feels happy for it and then when the teacher was asked what his meritorious student should do, the teacher would want his student should be topper in every competitive examination, appreciation is wealth and it cannot surpass material wealth but still material wealth which preserve artist, as artist becomes more intense in his act after becoming older. It is the duty of artist to preserve his talent and he/she should not feel belittle in collecting money as with money he is not saving his/her life but saving his talent and making it long last.

Geeta says 'Nishkama Karma', means selfless service without expecting returns is the noblest of all the deeds that makes one immortal. Great Musicians like Beethoven, Sculptors like Michel Angelo never charged money for their works. Great artist Vincent Vangogh preferred to die in penury than to charge money. Their talents and their deeds made them immortal. They live even today.

Even in the great temple architecture in India like Khajuraho we will not see the artists signature anywhere on their works. Contrary to this any artist worth his salt even if he draws a straight line, he signs his name in bold letters.
