artists

They produce masterpieces

Artists are people who create art, whether visual (painters, sculptors, photographers), performing (musicians, dancers, actors), or literary (writers, poets).

The term implies both skill and creative vision, though exactly what qualifies as art remains perpetually debated.

Artist can also describe someone who shows exceptional ability in any field: She's a real artist with a welding torch.

In informal use, calling someone an artist may suggest they're skilled at deception: He's a con artist.
