Should the urge to create art be motivated by money and the expectation of profit? Does art lose its point once it's created for money? Or does money just increase the motivation?

I think only talented or promising artists should get extra money, otherwise there would be people who create a lot of bad works.

There's literally thousands of job offers for artists. Only a desperate artist would take a job he doesn't like.

Art and money go well together. Getting paid for your stuff really gives you a morale boost.

Also, there's these people with "unpaid" job offers. Artists don't profit from them in the slightest - they don't get paid and most of those offers don't have creative freedom at all.

@user Alistaire: Here's an example:
Picasso was a very good traditionalist painter, but he realized that he still wasn't talented enough to become famous on traditional art. So he joined the avant-garde movement, which at the time was the easiest way to get money through art, and still remains so.

Except WE have the internet, and getting a job as artist is as easy as sending an e-mail.
