Part of the Morrisonian theory that we're all creative has a flip side in our non-Morrisonian world.
1. The market tends to promote the "artist hero" image. Think of all our stereotypes of "the artist" starving, creative/ crazy cuts off their ear etc. and you get the idea. By advancing the rarity of "The Artist" and his Art, as opposed to Morrisonian theory of common creativity, Art becomes as rare and expensive as diamonds. In the same way DeBoers has kept diamonds rare and exclusive.
2."Art for Arts sake" get defensive of their inflated position and value as annointed by the gallery and critic system. This is not to say Artists don't make real things but that their way of making ends meet is distorted by the Art Scene.
3. Art vs. Craft is part of this system of artificial rarity.
4. Artist Artist-Craftsman Kraft-Werker Keramiker we all have to find our way in a soul-less system
