Should I be a muralist?

When I paint for myself, I can do anything I want.

I could juxtapose any type of figure in
any type of clothing,
doing any kind of action
during any point in history,
and it wouldn't have to be accurate or make sense.

If I paint for the public,
should my decisions be made according to
what is clear
and what others want?
Is granting others what they want necessarily a virtue in art?
