Yes, this is a question that worries many. Usually they say – yes, my five-year-old son will draw in the same way! Just in the middle of the 20th century, the problem of the relationship between creation and creator arises: this work is art, therefore I am an artist. Or did I call myself an artist, and that’s why everything I do is art? And now a lot depends on the personality of the artist. This is a person whom the critic, in fact, called an artist, which means that everything he does is art. Anyone can paint a picture, but it will not sell, because the person himself is not known in the art society.
What matters is the artist’s creative method and how innovative it turns out to be. Let’s say Jackson Pollock with his abstract expressionism and paint splatter technique. He became the first, went down in history, became one of the most famous artists of the 20th century, and it is his works that are sold for fabulous money. As, however, and the work of Mark Rothko, which is usually fond of remembering the “residents” of social networks. All these avant-garde artists had a classical education, but they did not stop there, but went further, developing their vision of art. If someone wants to repeat the creative method of Rothko or Malevich, then this, of course, will not be quoted on the art market, because “we have already seen this.”
