What is Artist?
An artist is
a person engaged in one or more of any of a broad spectrum of activities
related to creating art, practicing the arts,
and/or demonstrating an art. The common usage in both everyday speech and academic discourse is a
practitioner in the visual
arts only. The term is often used in the entertainment business,
especially in a business context, for musicians and other performers (less
often for actors). "Artiste" (the French for
artist) is a variant used in English only in this context. Use of the term to
describe writers, for example, is certainly valid, but less common, and mostly
restricted to contexts like criticism.
