Whilst carrying out research into suggested artists I came upon an interesting blog. It was written by an art blogger who was explaining the methodology that they utilise when approaching an artists work.

They had three categories:

Outsider artist: naïve / primitive by design or lack of technical ability. just doing what they do.

Emerging artist: critiqued with a smile, encouragement and a feeling of camaraderie.

Established artist: reviewed with a more critical eye. why successful easy target.

An artists making work with the expectation of gaining recognition and achieving monetary success is in the wrong line of work.
