\"Goya<\/a>

But was Goya himself weird enough?<\/p><\/div>\n

You may not think I’m weird, and I may live in a suburb and tend a garden, but talk to people who know me, all right? I am. I really am!\u00a0<\/em>This\u00a0Atlantic<\/a>:\u00a0article points out that this would be a good thing, in marketing terms, even though studied weirdness when it comes to the art world doesn’t appear to be in short supply:<\/p>\n

Our brains associate eccentricity and creativity in musicians, painters, writers, and other artists\u2014as long as weirdness doesn’t feel like a gimmick. Once we form a stereotype of the erratic artist, we may see those who fit the stereotype more snugly as being better artists.<\/p>\n

Even if you decide to scheme up a whole crazy artist persona, it\u2019s likely that at least some people won\u2019t see through the plot and will grant you greater regard. So don that outfit of veal or vomit\u2014assuming you\u2019re doing something edgy with your work. If, however, you\u2019re hoping to make it big in still life, it\u2019s probably better to keep the food on the table.<\/p>\n
