Interesting. I'm struggling to process how someone who doesn't paint, or photograph can call themselves an artist. It seems this "artist" is more "model".
is a Artistic Director an Artist????
That's one way to view it.
I'm struggling because if I took a self portrait, I'd still consider myself the artist (though no one would want to see the work).
On the other hand if I paid someone to come paint me and take a photo of me I wouldn't consider myself an artist...I'd consider myself a model and perhaps an artistic director.
Not discounting the work of this person, just trying to figure out how to define the role of the artist. This, for me, is more thought provoking than his work.
I See your point.
But it is the "artist" that had the vision of the piece.
Like yourself.... being a photographer. the camera does the work..NOT you... but you are still an artist..
