Art medium
2022-10-11 Supplemental addendum and page cut out.
Even with regard to orthodox painting, which many people would recognize as "art," the artist did not make his own canvas cloth, nor did he make his own paints.
Most of the material existence of art is not created by the painter himself. Creation is informational.
Art is the use of a canvas and paint, a medium, and the inventive use of information on it. (Tip: Output need not be 100% controlled by the author's will)
The creation that takes place informatively does not have to be an external feature. (Duchamp Fountain) (Supplement: It may be a change in "view," "perspective," or "interpretation.")
