Famous Artists a Virtual Tour

An Artist is a person engaged in an activity related to creating art, practicing the arts, or demonstrating an art.

The word art derives from the Latin “ars,” which means “skill method,” but also conveys a connotation of beauty.

“Artiste,” the French word for artist, is the variant used in English.

“The purpose of art is to wash the dust of daily life off our souls.”
– Pablo Picasso
