Is Artistry Passé?

I recently read a newspaper article about how the youth of India is more inclined towards building business empires rather than persuing art. On giving it a deeper thought one realises that this indeed is the case. People are more interested in earning big and 'making it big', rather than relishing art or contributing to artistic heritage of the country.

So what could be the possible reasons behind this changing attitude, why are we more into entrepreneurship than into art? The answer is simple. In my humble opinion, we are becoming more and more materialistic day by day and that's what we are imparting to the upcoming generations, we are shaping their mindset to follow a certain course, to fit a certain mould. We aren't allowing them to think about significant things, rather we are feeding the set definition of significant into their minds. And this definition tends to make them money minded rather than choose their own priorities and happiness. As a matter of fact, money is the new happiness and the latest definition of success.

This is why the poor art has been shoved into the corner, making way for the shining new trend of 'making it big', rather than 'making a difference'.

However, for old school artistically inclined people like me, art could never be passé and would continue to be as blissful as ever. It would continue to bring immense joy and peace to the artist and the art lovers.
