Ideally, he would, if it doesn't personally harm him. And I think whatever possesses truth, will eventually be recognized and attain success, because the human species is always moving toward greater truth.
Yes, but what I'm saying is, loving your work, is like loving your child: you want it to be successful. I'm not being an absolutist, but I think that when an artist produces really great work, and realizes it, he feels something inside, like a great instinct or need, pushing him to make his work public and earn it recognition.
