No mention either on how arty types tend to marry those who at least appreciate beauty or have some other attributes that arty types value.
Like income?
When I was in school, college track didn't have room for art. Art is a very unbalanced pyramid of pay, and many people talk about it as an indulgent field. Success often requires skills that aren't inherently tied together. So, a person with a great mind for producing art, will need the high levels of practice in the execution of their medium if they aren't doubly gifted. I think requisite but dissimilar ability pairings likely underlies much of the practice component in variations of these studies.
