Is it the Art or the Artist?


Is it the Art or the Artist?

The question has come about with the artist viewing the audience who participate in the creation and wonders. Do they approve of the art or the artist?
Art, whether it is painting or dancing or music or any creative action is a subjective emotion. With the continuing variety of choices the quality of art can be as good or not as the critics or educational information on the subject allows.
With the inspiration of colors or movement or sound, one may wonder who has created the art. Some fabulous pieces of crafts are constructed by some of the poorest people in the world. Those who have never heard another sound or had any formal instruction create some amazing music. Free celebration can make a body moves in ways no one has ever seen. Colors and materials can be combined into visions unforeseen without formal training. 
The art is then categorized and analysis by the experts in their fields to provide the general public with a basic understanding of what they hear or see, as described by another. To emphasis the importance of the art a single artist is attached to it, as a symbol or perhaps a celebrity. 
So an individual who may be more talented or more expressive or the first becomes the name associated to a style of art. With thousands of others who may be as good or not better, the celebrity will receive the accolades and many times the financial rewards above all others.
