I somewhat agree tank, however I do think that we craft art for the sake of business. The soul-sucking dimension to the practice is that our work must be effective in pushing idea or product, in addition to being attractive...the good news is that among discerning clients and consumers, attractive design and material sells.
Think of all the work commissioned by the church throughout the centuries – it's the same thing, different century.
I wonder if the argument could be made that graphic design is a slightly less self-centered profession than pure fine art, since the latter group tends to be primarily concerned with their own visual agenda and not someone else's.
Just a thought...I have no issue with people following their personal muse as long as the work is worthwhile (which I recognize is a very subjective and nuanced field upon which to thread).
