''Art is a metier,'' Balthus declares, having worked himself once more into a lather. ''I don't consider myself an artist. I consider myself a worker. Unfortunately, now this idea seems useless because if you look at modern art you see that now everybody can do everything.'' He shakes his head in disgust. ''And in fact nobody does anything.''
