Art dealer
An art dealer is a person or company that buys and sells works of art. Art dealers' professional associations serve to set high standards for accreditation or membership and to support art exhibitions and shows.
Role
An art dealer typically seeks out various artists to represent, and builds relationships with collectors and museums whose interests are likely to match the work of the represented artists. Some dealers are able to anticipate market trends, while some prominent dealers may be able to influence the taste of the market. Many dealers specialize in a particular style, period, or region. They often travel internationally, frequenting exhibitions, auctions, and artists' studios looking for good buys, little-known treasures, and exciting new works. When dealers buy works of art, they resell them either in their galleries or directly to collectors. Those who deal in contemporary art usually exhibit artists' works in their galleries, and take a percentage of the price the works sell for.

Clearsight
by: CandlemassWe sat the sails, in July
Knew too well it was final goodbye
At the helm, there I stood
Like a tree, awaiting the flood
Over the sea and under the stars
We searched the shores both near and so far
Crossed the last line, the rim of the world
To find reality, life, death and birth
Clearsight....Fearflight....The tears light
Cleartsight....Sheer night.... Near blight
Clearsight....Clersight....Clearsight
Didn't know, what to find
There was no water, we could not return
Sailed the deserts, of the seas
Four years... human debris
Over the sea and under the stars
We searched the shores both near and so far
Crossed the last line, the rim of the world
To find reality, life, death and birth
Clearsight....Fearflight....The tears light
Cleartsight....Sheer night.... Near blight
Clearsight....Clersight....Clearsight
We fled the shallow, the modern decline
The ship of fools, a cursed bark of pine
...compass...dead, as sea and sky met
We reached the end at the cliffs of regret
HMS Clearsight, ghost of the sea
Drifting the oceans forever unfree
In to the storms, the rain and the mist
We still sail the dreams from the deepers grave there
Clearsight....Fearflight....The tears light
Cleartsight....Sheer night.... Near blight
Clearsight....Clersight....Clearsight
