I find the paragraph you posted from Preparation for Painting to be completely accurate of my perception as an artist. My partner and I find that we must continue to evolve all of our skills: in business, marketing and art mediums. It is also helpful to evolve ones consciousness. So true about art schools not sufficiently preparing the artist. A great case in point is Gary Baseman, who started off as an illustrator and now has moved into the art world. He attended business school at UCLA, never went to art school. Thanks for this insightful post. Fascinating!
