American artists
U.S.-based creative practitioners
American artists are creative practitioners from or working in the United States—painters, sculptors, musicians, writers, filmmakers, and others producing artistic work.
The phrase typically emphasizes national identity or cultural context: a survey of American artists from the Harlem Renaissance, American artists have shaped global pop culture.
It may distinguish from European or other traditions, or highlight distinctly American themes and styles.
