Who is an Artist? This is the question I asked to myself to have an initial idea of which direction to undertake within this project. Therefore I decided that the aim of this assignment is to emphasize the meaning of the word 'Artist', within its different aspects.
The fictional character Justin Liver is born in London in 1931. At
the age of 24 he believes himself to be an abstract painter, who also uses photography. Being completely self taught, he considers himself an outsider, a bohemian, who has talent, but lack of knowledge of the rules of art.
How important is it to be culturally educated and trained as an artist? Justin Liver represents the romantic figure of the 'artist anti academic', whose untraditional and marginalized lifestyle, caused also by his social status, represent an obstacle for his possibilities of being an Artist within the social context.
