Artists
"Studio art" can mean either art that is created by an amateur (an idea derived from the beginning of the High Renaissance period when an artist and his "studio" were considered disreputable), thus derogatory, or art that is created by a professional (a distinction that has been propagated by artists throughout the 20th century such as Willem De Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Gerhard Richter), thus complimentary.
