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.

What artists have drawn or painted the changing seasons?
Q. Again I basically need a list of Artists who've drawn or painted the different seasons i.e Monet's poplars. Artists who've drawn the same picture but at different times of the year and so different seasons would be great but those who've painted different seasons intentionally but not necessarily painted the same place are welcome too. By the way I only want the names of well known artists such as the likes of Monet, Constable, Van Gogh etc Basically artists that are not alive today. Finally I've also asked some other art related questions, look at my profile and my questions to find them, your help answering any of them would be great.

A. Many artists, most notably the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists, painted several versions of a picture, apart from the well-recognized ones. Claude Monet and Paul Cezanne were two of them. Vincent van Gogh was a Post-Impressionist artist who also painted in subject matter that represented a variety of seasons. Monet's series of paintings, known as his Cathedral Series, includes a painting titled in English, 'Rouen Cathedral, West Facade, Sunlight' (1894). Another painting is called 'Rouen Cathedral, Sunset' (1892-1894). The series is a depiction of the Cathedral of Rouen at different times of the day and in different seasons. It is a noteworthy example. Paul Cezanne painted a number of renditions of one subject, Mont Ste-V [cont.]

How do artists portray identity in their work?
Q. I am writing an essay towards my A-Level in Art and am doing some research. My stimulus is Identity, and would be grateful for any input regarding artists and their portrayal of their own identity within their work.

A. I think other than a signature (wether written or otherwise), it has a lot to do with style. I like to draw slim female fantasy characters, I prefer them with long hair, and an array of personally designed garments. I have developed this style through years of practice, and although it reflects that of the video game character creation industry, it is exclusive. Here is my deviantart page for an idea:

Is it normal for artists to fall into a bit of depression after they have finished a project?
Q. I'm an artist and I created something really different and beautiful a fews days ago. A few people have commented on how wonderful and very clever it is, but i couldn't sleep stressing that it wasn't good enough. Is it normal for artists to fall into a bit of depression after they have finished a project? Thanks.
Asked by Purity - Sun Mar 30 18:52:14 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Yeah, I think so. It's not just artists either, when you're working on anything thats important to you then you are focused, you are working towards a goal. When you finally achieve that goal then you get a sense of satisfaction and pride. However, as you have been so focused on this one thing, once it is completed it is natural to feel a bit empty without it. It'll pass, my advice would be to start a new project as soon as possible!
