On a similar thread...think of all the adjectives you can think of
that apply to van Gogh...now apply them when you want to
know how the general public thinks of what an "artist" is.
Make a list...crazy...unproductive...cut of his ear...crazy..
irresponsible...look into the literature and the descriptions
all apply...now pick an artist the world does not understand...
charting territory unknown...try Gordon Matta-Clark who cut
buildings apart for his art..truly spectacular stuff...
One of my favorite artists.
Oh well...do whatever you need to do.
Bask in the surprises of divergent thinking.
But mostly have a gloriously happy holiday.
be happy...

p.s. did you notice how many different artist's were
represented as being the product of the art star?
Leave it to the set dressers of the movie, Ghost.
