How can people think that artists seek a name? There is no such thing as an artist - only the world, lit or unlit, as the world allows.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Why do we pigeonhole and label an artist? It is a sure way of missing the important, the contradictory, the things that make him or her unique.
There is actually no such thing as an Artist type. 'Artist' is just an economic designation, a box you tick on a form. We are all people, and we are all creative.
So many artists try to be something that they're not.
Any artist always has misgivings about calling himself an artist.
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
I don't use the word 'artists' lightly.
I've worked with a lot of directors, some of them you wouldn't really attach the word 'artist' to their name.
I think that an artist is a bit like a computer. He receives information from the world around him and from his past and from his own experiences. And it all goes into the brain.
Anyone who doesn't know anything about art knows the name of at least one artist.
Actually, I don't think there's anyone that represents the artists, except the artists themselves.
