This is a naive question, but i'm not an arts student.
I'm an accountant, and an arts enthusiast.
I'll answer based on my understanding.
It's not that they get worse, their reputation and praise gave them all the permission to do whatever the fuck they want. If you get popular for doing what you want, you continue to do what you want, regardless of fans/money. Even when want you want to do constantly changes.
Showing off is a young mans game. There's no need to show off if you've already proven yourself.
Young artists often seek the approval of strangers. as a result the things they create become generic and uninspired.
>t-they only like sci-fi OR fantasy right? That's how I'll prove myself..>that new thing i saw was soo original, If I copy it, I'll be original too!>I painted this photo on ONE layer with the HRB,.... in 20 minutes.When you switch from seeking approval, to loving the craft, you stop caring about this stuff. This has binary outcomes that toggle depending on the mood of the artist,
>the art quality increases exponentially>the art quality decreases exponentiallyIt is worth noting that this isn't the same thing as the sloppiness that comes from mental strain and overwork. though it could be a contributing factor.
You've probably already stopped reading, and that's okay. Regardless, there is more to be said.
Art is a trade, like carpentry or architecture. It is impossible to get objectively worse at a trade that is practiced constantly. You either stay the same, or improve.
