If even 1% of Americans can name a single contemporary American painter other than fucking Banksy, I would truly be fucking shocked unless it was like a comic book artist who paints on the side (no disrespect to them), or if .1% could name a sculptor. Don't worry about digital art either, because we're doing our best to drown it in AI slop (like literature, incidentally).
