"Before you dismis Artist as not being important ,keep in mind.
If not for Artist we would all be standing in a field naked."
Hmm interesting point of view.
but perhaps YOU would be "naked in a field" without artists.
Not me..
My Dwelling/building is framed with
welded Steel.
Oscar Kelberg(Non artist) of sweden invented and patented the covered electrode making modern welding fast enough to be commercially viable
Tthe main floors of my building/dwelling are made of formed concrete.
John Smeaton an English engineer
(NON artist) invented the modern form of concrete used in building construction today.
My building/dwelling is air conditioned eliminating any need to "stand naked in a field" to cool off.
Air condition was invented by (Non artist)William Cullen at the University of Glasgow in Scotland in 1748.
The garments I am wearing at this very moment(thus preventing me being Naked) are made of woven cotton.
Eli Whitney(NON artist) was the inventor of the cotton gin and a pioneer in the mass production of cotton.
These same garments were sewn together with a device called a "sewing machine"
The first functional sewing machine was invented by the French tailor,(Non artist) Barthelemy Thimonnier, in 1830.
(yep.. Google.. the unrelenting enemy of hyperbole)
