OPINION | Theย riseย of Hunter Bidenโs art career proves that fame trumps talent.ย Itโs aย discouragingย lessonย for many young, talented artists who are struggling to be noticed in the overcrowded art world. The message is clear, no matter how good your art is, unless you have famousย parents, chances are, you wonโt make it.ย ย
Those that decide to stay in the art game may takeย away a much moreย dangerousย lesson โ to be noticed you must embrace scandalous decadence and become a self-destructiveย public figureย like Hunter Biden.ย After all it worked forย Andy Warhol, who was a lifelong drug addict; it worked forย Jackson Pollock, who was an alcoholic for most of his life; it worked forย Petr Pavlensky, who nailedย his scrotum to the ground; it just may work forย youย โ right?ย ย
