Picasso lived a long life and became famous rather early!. He was enormously productive and sold his works at high prices!. So he lived well after his early struggles for recognition!.
He was not the only successful artist, though!. Others did quite well - Monet, Whistler, and Chagall among them!. Earlier, the English portraitists Gainsborough, Reynolds, and others also made nice livings!.
During the Renaissance, some of the more successful artists ran large workshops with assistants that filled in the details after the master had sketched out the work!. So they did pretty well, too!.
Not all famous artists were recognized only after their deaths!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
