What's the difference between an artist and a creator?
Love this from Yancey Strickler:
An artist is a self-employed self-expressor.
A creator is a self-employed commercial expressor.
So let me propose a somewhat crude distinction between 2 kinds of art:
- Art consumed as a commodity , or used to sell a product. For many people, these kinds of works might not qualify as “art” at all, because they’re not intended to create an autonomous aesthetic experience. Their aesthetic qualities are often subservient to a functional purpose.
