I want to make clear that I myself don't enjoy discussions in
which artists are measured by each other's standards and style.
That sounds like contest. And who will be the winner?
A: Well, *my* favourite artist, of course.
B: No, mine! My favourite artist is *far* better!
C: But my favourite artist won a *web poll*!
D: That's nothing compared to *my* favourite artist, who even
has been elected to be the first artist on the moon!
I try to limit myself to sharing of knowledge about statements,
without judgements about artists being better than others, and
I hope these "superior artists vs. inferior artists" debates
will be over soon.
Let's also enjoy the stories by *reading* them. This is why
they were created in the first place. They're so much more
than files of (superior and inferior) "facts".
