Eric Fischl on "Second Act"

It's not like I started my first act yet but it's good to be reminded that doing art is a long journey. Getting the first taste of success and recognition is just the beginning.

" They shouldn’t abandon their first thing until they are tired of it, but they must know that their life is not going to just be that first act. There is a second act coming and they should prepare for it. That’s where the real test is. It’s not as big a leap in terms of finding your voice, finding a gallery, getting people interested in what you do. That’s all huge. The second act is subtler, but it can erase you or land you as a major artist."
