What's The Difference Between An Artist And An...

... illustrator?

I remember reading somewhere that Norman Rockwell was an illustrator.  He seemed á fairly good artist to me.

a-h// the notion of music as an art form is not relevant. //

I didn't say it was, it was an analogy, just as Ellipsis gave you a the similar analogy of an athlete.

Is that beyond your ability to comprehend?

No, it's not, but that's becuase I know what an analogy is.

An analogy is the use of a comparison of two  descriptions which are disparate, but share similarities.

"a comparison of two otherwise unlike things based on resemblance of a particular aspect. b. : resemblance in some particulars between things otherwise unlike "

Therefore, your comparison of art forms is not an anlaogy.

Of course, if you were not so keen to show off your 'knowledged', you could take the time to make sure that your point is appropriate and accurate, but you didn't, and it's not.

As usual, your insecurity leads you to patronise, and again your imagined superiority trips you up.

Perhaps you should quit while you're being - again.

Not on the basis of his inaccurate grasp of grammer evidenced on this thread he doesn't!!

[naomi24]

A quick eye roll to that^ and that's my lot on this topic.

[andy-hughes]

// Perhaps you should quit while you're being - again. //

Should be - behind - again.

There is only one "behind" on here... 🤣

Don't be unkind - Khandro is doing his best.

It's just that his best is not always up to the standard needed to take the superior attitude he likes to employ.

I know, he'll be back later with some more ... or maybe not.

He tends to do what another frequent arguer with me does when clearly losing the debate, he simply walks away and comes back another day.

Beaten with experience I suppose.

douglas - // Beaten with experience I suppose. //

Usually, yes.

andy-hughes; //Therefore, your comparison of art forms is not an anlaogy.//

Speaking of grammer; what's an anlaogy ?

It's a typo - so don't compound your dodgy superior attitude by breaking an acknowledged AB courtesy - we don't pick each other up on typos.

All illustrators are artists; but not all artists are illustrators

[andy-hughes]

braniac - // All illustrators are artists; but not all artists are illustrators //

Exactly.

A simple fact that Khandro is being unecessarily sniffy and rude about refusing to accept.

[Khandro]

braniac //All illustrators are artists; but not all artists are illustrators//

Agree 100%. That is precisely what I am saying and what I said at 8:30 using the analogy of musicians, and Ellipsis used with the analogy of athletes.

But for some reason no one seems to be able to get that across.

As I pointed out earlier - ellipsis's comparison is an analogy, but yours is not, and I fully expect you stubbornly to refuse to acknowledge your error.

Moving on - 

In response to braniac's post - 

//All illustrators are artists; but not all artists are illustrators//

You offer - 

//Agree 100%. That is precisely what I am saying and what I said at 8:30 using the analogy of musicians, and Ellipsis used with the analogy of athletes.

Ane yet, yesterday at 2:07, in response to the OP question - 'What's The Difference Between An Artist And An Illustrater?", you replied - quote - "There is no difference".

Either you don't actually know what you think, or you have forgotten your view from yesterday, which is why you are directly contradicting it today, or you are simply trying to sound brighter and more informed than you actually are.

 

Take your time ...

//Ane yet, yesterday at 2:07, in response to the OP question - 'What's The Difference Between An Artist And An Illustrater?", you replied - quote - "There is no difference".//

Yes, because I was answering the OP, which is effectively, 'Is Norman Rockwell an artist or an illustrator?' 

And there is no difference because he is an artist AND an illustrator. Just as Eric Clapton is a guitarist AND a musician.

Why can you not grasp that?

[andy-hughes]

And why can you not grasp that an illustrator is always an artist, but an artist is not always an illustrator?

Innocent question, and silly peevish answers. It's all words. Does it really matter, apart from providing an excuse for bickering and showing off?
