I think I get what you're saying... that there's a difference between an artist and an artisan... and both have their meritsI agree that it is great work and the individual(s) who made it were master craftsmen and fabricators. I can definitely appreciate the beauty of it when thinking about the dedication and skill that went into it, I just don't see the artistic design part of the whole thing. Yes, I would want to have one on my desk because it is cool, technical and an excellent demonstration of fabrication technologies and engine technology and quality. I just don't see it as art. There is also a lot of "Art" that I do not view as art. Then again, my dad was an artist, and worked in may areas of non-art and art (from advertising to fine arts to professor of art at a local university so I admittedly look at things a bit differently. Just my opinion and you don't have to agree. I completely understand that everyone has a different definition of what they view as art.
