AlexanderG, I really like the theme, very interesting to see what they think about this forum members are professionals.
I have artist friends in Russia, Italy, and now more and the Middle East, and the spouse is also an artist. I really like to talk to them about their work, about their worldview and why they are doing what they feel.
These are special people, creativity - this is for their lives.
But ...
Conditionally (for myself), I divide them into two categories. The first category - artists - creative people. Just paint them enough, they design their homes, they come up with furniture for your home, they are keen on photography, they come up with some unusual clothing, they have traveled the world and when you're next to them, they just recharge you some of his crazy energy and crazy rhythm. They write poetry and books., Sing, etc. etc.
The second category - the quiet introverts, they do not need noisy company, thirst for life they do not. They draw only the pictures, do a project for the house they would not have been able, breaking off and go to Tibet for 2 months, too, no madness, no shocks. Selling because selling, not selling, it's not selling. No money, no means to buy the sausage, and what can the door weighs job is 3 months - so they did not see. Perhaps they have a deep inner world and thinking about it, but contact with these people plunges me into depression.
For myself, I found here are two extremes. Who is a true artist of these two categories? I am in a quandary. I have an active life position and so I, of course, close to people - creative people and their creativity.
AlexanderG, I think that everyone in judging the artist, who called the "real, who do not" choose what he likes and what he is close.
But time will tell who will go down in history, and who is not.
