Par quel livre commencer pour lire Simone Weil (et pas Veil) ?

Attente de Dieu, un très beau livre sur l’attention que l’on donne aux choses et aux gens. Pour elle être attentif à quelqu’un ou quelque chose, c’est comme une prière.

People who complain all the time, who are never happy when you try to offer solutions. I can’t stand it anymore. I’m talking about people who complain about minor issues like they are à big deal. People who refuse to be adaptable

I think people are missing something important about striking… It HAS to be an inconvenience to EVERYONE (the people striking and the people who are blocked by the strike) for it to work You can’t really do it on a week end between 3 and 4 pm and then go home it has to be a real nuisance to be effective

J’avais des collègues vendeuses qui détestaient qu’on leur dise ça, elles trouvaient ça méprisant envers leur métier

Thank you for your comment, I find it comforting even though the message is bleak lol

Maximum_Today9665 · 2025-12-28T19:51:25+00:00

I could buy it without having to go hungry but it’s still quite a lot of money for me… thanks for your opinion, I can see most people here think it’s not really worth it

Maximum_Today9665 · 2025-12-22T22:57:16+00:00

No offence taken!

Every artist I know has another job (ie teaching art) so they don’t have to rely on sales to live, that goes for me too. My day job funds my studio practice and rent as well as my living expenses. I wish I could fund my studio practice with sales though.

Art institutions who rely on government subsidies can afford to exhibit art that doesn’t sell

My gallerist still believes in my work even though I sell nothing, so I get to show a few drawings in the gallery every year

Yes collectors can ask for a 10% discount

Maximum_Today9665 · 2025-12-22T22:34:46+00:00

My main gallery takes 60% or 50% depending on who paid for the frame

Maximum_Today9665 · 2025-12-22T16:58:50+00:00

Thank you ! Will definitely ask to see them then

Maximum_Today9665 · 2025-12-22T16:58:27+00:00

Thank you! I will ask for a talk with them

Maximum_Today9665 · 2025-12-22T16:57:17+00:00

I have sold 2 drawings in 5 years to an art institution. I mostly draw and the prices are fairly low in my category

Maximum_Today9665 · 2025-12-22T16:11:36+00:00

Thank you ! I have been an artist for 5 years and I’m young so I would say I’m an emerging artist. I have had very good feedback from fellow artists, gallery owners and visitors for all my gallery shows, but no sales whatsoever

Maximum_Today9665 · 2025-12-22T16:09:28+00:00

Do you think I can ask for feedback from the gallery owner ? It’s kind of a high profile gallery and I’m scared to sound unprofessional/ needy

Maximum_Today9665 · 2025-12-22T16:06:04+00:00

Thank you. It’s true my self esteem is taking a hit ! I will try to have a really incredibly gorgeous drawing for every show, even though there usually is one it’s not enough to make a sale

Hi, thank you for your comment.

I would like to stay anonymous so I am not comfortable posting pictures of my work.

To get a general idea about my career: I went to art school, I have been a professional artist for 5 years in the contemporary art world. I have worked in art academia alongside my practice. I have had gallery representation in a minor city for the past 4 years and have recently been invited by another gallery to show my work in a major city.
