Tracy Emin seems to be able to paint (she's better known for "installations"). But she's well-known, she's alive, and she's a painter.
- lmm 3y ago> seems to be able to paint... she's a painter. That's perhaps a stretch; plenty of public figures have painted on occasion, maybe even sold a painting or two, but would not be considered painters.
- denton-scratch 3y agoShe's not a mere dauber. She's skilled. She's not just a "conceptual artist". I thought Picasso was all about revolutionizing art, until I visited the Picasso Museum in Barcelona, and saw his juvenilia. Then I realized that he was an extremely skilled draughtsman, anatomist and figurative painter. I'm not keen on Tracy Emin, but I was mistaken to underestimate her.
