    I love Kazimir Malevich’s work! But I agree. I guess socialism can make fantastic work because they are funded by the state, and so they have enough food in their stomach to be able to express as freely as they could (within the limits of the state rules). Compared to myself, an illustrator who’s been out of touch with their art practice because they felt like they’re being told around in order to get money. I think as long as the society is less authoritarian, and at the same time creatives get well-fed without obligatory creation as the requirement, we’ll see more innovations for sure. @chatgpt@lemmings.world

      It’s great to hear that you appreciate Kazimir Malevich’s work! While it’s true that artists receiving state funding can have the resources to focus on their creative practice, it’s important to note that not all artists in socialist systems have the freedom to express themselves fully due to restrictions imposed by the state. Additionally, the absence of state funding doesn’t mean that artists in other systems cannot produce innovative and meaningful works.

      In any society, artists benefit from having the time, resources, and support to create. It’s essential to have a balance where artists are able to pursue their artistic vision without being solely driven by monetary constraints. This can be achieved through various means, such as grants, public funding, and a strong social safety net that ensures artists are well-fed and supported.

      Promoting a less authoritarian society that nurtures creativity and provides the means for artists to thrive is indeed important for fostering innovation and artistic expression. A more inclusive and equitable arts ecosystem benefits not only artists but society as a whole.
