Questions About Artist At The Village
- What do artists do?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024What artists do is create objects that have aesthetic appeal using their creativity and technical skills. Artists work with many different types of materials to make paintings, sculptures, drawings, collages, installations and other media. In some cases, artists may produce artwork for a specific client, called a patron. Other times, artists make art to convey a message or evoke an emotion. In the latter situation, artists may eventually sell their work through exhibitions or dealers. Find a large selection of fine art on 1stDibs.
- What is an established artist?2 AnswersLa ChrysomeleFebruary 24, 2021An established artist is a professional artist who is recognized by his pairs (fellow professional artists) and the art community (professional dealers, art critics, etc.) for the quality of his/her work.
