This does not serve as a useful definition of Art (or Artist) for me.

Historical, cultural, and aesthetic criteria do exist
to help us define and understand both Art Objects and the Artists who produce them.
Just as criteria exist to help us define and understand good science and medicine;
and the scientists and M.D.s that practice those crafts.
