No, of course I'm not thinking of anyone in particular

Are there any writers who are emphatically opposed to literary fiction (no plot, no fun) who write decent prose?

In the visual arts, there's also the editorial process to take into account.

An illustrator who works with art editors will generally be hired on the basis of past work, with the expectation that he or she will turn in something similar to that past work.

In the fine arts, generally you make what you want, and then look for someone to buy it. (Not always, but generally.)

I'm not sure that's how it works for highly successful fine artists ;)
