I'll find this emphasis on Pro vs Amateurs exaggerated. If you see the whole history of art the 'amateurs' clearly 'won' over the professionals. Van Gogh just bought a book about how to paint and worked himself through the 1000 pages. Michelangelo was a amateur strictly speaking, when he created his Pietà. This whole competition thing between amateurs and professionals is what drives art forward. To be so impressed by professionals is childish.
