>>3711913The thing is, the painters we know of were the spawn of people rich enough to be able to be sent to artschool. Or work under a master or whatever. Because they didn't have to all work to survive the winter. They are all privileged pieces of shit who act like they have the best interest of the poor in mind when in reality they never struggled. Painters are fucking dicks, so obviously they aren't gonna do manual labor. And don't get me started on the plight of female artists who were in the top 5% richest families in the world but then whine about being oppressed. Oh boohoo, 2,5% of the population had it worse than the other 2,5%.
