This is a reductive question to ask, especially on a popular art blog - but this is the question that makes me want to write about art in the public realm.
On the one side:
Art makes people angry
Some artists make a lot of money
Some people don't understand why
A lot of non-artists don't make a lot of money
A lot of non artists are able to do child-like drawings or throw paint at a canvas
On the other...
A lot of artists make no money
Artists struggle with trying to find something new or relevant in an image saturated world
Art strives to be understood
Art strives to be valuable
Art carries messages
Most non-artists don't throw paint at canvasses
