 Awards in an art exhibition, does it make an artist a true artist?
The article in an art magazine, does that make an artist a true artist?
The number of followers on social networks, does that make an artist a true artist?

No.

Only its authenticity and interpretation of reality, make an artist a true artist.

Everything else is smoke and mirrors. 
 Sorry sir real artists have 9 pointless awards from people that know less then the artists 
 An artist I know refused to display at the National Gallery in London after being invited. He took a look round and didn't see art, just work of drawers and painters playing to the art establishment  
 I would like to know who this artist is, without seeing his works I already like him. 
 Yes!
Art is a very personal concept. Everything can be art, as long as you assign it a personal or social meaning.
I'll refrain from judging "modern art" as art, more like money laundering 🫣🤌
