<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Debora, post: 5901633, member: 1476&quot;]I do think &quot;van der Meer&quot; was chosen by this artist for its association with other, more accomplished, Dutch artists of the same name.&nbsp; And the phrase &quot;starving artist&#039; shouldn&#039;t be taken literally.&nbsp; It simply means an artist who isn&#039;t (yet) able to make a living from selling his own work, usually (in his/her mind) because of a lack of rightful recognition by critics and the public.&nbsp; Van Gogh is one example.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
