What is an artist?

  April 1, 1998  

We asked a number of participants to describe and define the artist –with as few words as possible.

  • So, here are the results from the Stockholm Jury:
  • "A poor person."
  • "Not that easy."
  • "A transferor of universal values."
  • "Professional."
  • "Knows how to use his och her means."
  • "Someone with that little extra called creativity."
  • "A bold person."
  • "Someone with courage."
  • "Surrealistic."
  • "The person who creates art."
  • "One who creates what others can't."
  • "One who works around the hour."
  • "One who lives for and by what is created."
  • "One who creates a totality."
  • "When you define, you limit."
  • "Somebody, who is thought of by everybody else as an artist."
  • "Somebody who creates a totality."
  • "Someone who is educated from a school of arts."
  • "If you are accepted by the Union of Artists."
  • "Achieved recognition through financial remuneration."
  • "Been part of two recognised exhibitions."
  • "Achieved recognition through artistic practise."
  • "Anybody who is creating something."
  • "A person who is able to keep the integrity in difficult situations."
  • "Somebody who tells the truth in an attractive way."
  • "Anybody who creates something which has an effect on an audience."
  • "A media between ideas and the receiver."
  • "Somebody who arts."
  • "Somebody at an international high level."
