An artist is a student. His studenthood is lifelong. The process which others perceive as of making art is actually the process of learning. While working on every art piece artist is learning. It is a process of refinement. Refinement not just of artist's skill and talent but also of his self. The process of refinement is a lifelong, in every work till his death. The best work of an artist is learning. He must ceaselessly carry it on. Only then he will be really an Artist. The moment he stops to be a student he will stop being an artist. There is no art maker just art learner. This is what I have learnt today. Please feel free to comment critically and add on to my understanding.
