An essay Some people believe that governments should give financial support to artists such as painters, sculptors and musicians. Others, however, argue that artists should be funded by other sources. Discuss both these views. It is irrefutable that artists are often lack of financial support when they are not famous in the society. Without the financial support of others, artists have a hard life that limited the future development of them. Take Vincent Van Gogh for example, he had an unbelievable genius of painting, but his talent was not recognized by his family and the society. He lived a poor life as his paintings sold not well. After a long time of no financial support, he was badly ill both mentally and physically and finally died when he was still very young. On the other hand, if government give financial support to all the artiest, the budget would increased sharply. As the budget increased, people should pay much more tax than before that might leads to social unrest which is bad for the harmony and peace of society. Moreover,people of other industry might think this policy is an action of injustice,they would ask for financial support as well.
