The Greatest Artist of All Time - Research Paper
Choose an artist to defend that he or she is the greatest artist of all time. Now, it’s hard to choose just one that has had a significant impact on the history of art and how we, as a society, view art, but you’re going to. Of course, part of this paper will be subjective and include personal opinion; and that’s exactly what this is.
Research the artist that you have chosen and use facts, his or her manifestos, journals, or personal letters to defend your stance. The artist can be from any time period, movement, region, dead or alive.
