Yes. Thank you for saying this, Richard!
Australian artist/poet Michael Leunig expresses what I feel about the whole business:
Artist, leave the world of art,
Pack your goodies on a cart,
Duck out through some tiny hole,
Get away and save your soul.
Leave no footprints, don't look back,
Take the dark and dirty track;
Cross the border, cross your heart;
Freedom from the world of art.
