When did we start thinking of artists as non-technical

As I’ve paid more attention to art, I’ve learned how extremely technical it is. There are lots of formulas, and lots of know how to produce something. I was a documentary on how Rembrandt’s canvases used to be made and about the engineering that had to go into that from understanding the chemical properties of various pigments, etc.
I feel like these days, we see artists as the anti-technical and I’m curious how that came about. Because the more I look into art, it’s a lot of times extremely highly designed.

Probably because it's very subjective. It's hard to grasp that something so subjective could also be technical?

hey look an interesting and original thought on the OT, how refreshing. It is an interesting question, and the first person to cross my mind is Frank Zappa who was of course an incredible creative mind, but also an immensely gifted technical musician.

Art is what artists make.

Probably around the time shite like this started selling for more money than the average person could make in 10 lifetimes
ETA: 46 million for those curious

Heck, I spent most of the night editing a single digital image to print on t-shirts, and it also took about three hours to do the shoot to get the original photograph. I'd estimate all that is worth at least $3.50.

Probably when it started to be used to launder money or when people started using shite as shock art.

This is related, yes.

If you think about it, art is everywhere you look.
Somebody designed the clothes you’re wearing, the furniture & paintings in your house, your house, your phone, your pc, your car, your street, city landscapes, every building, every bridge, every church, park etc…

I don't think they were ever considered technical.
Even in his own day, no one ever thought, "That Rembrandt sure is a brilliant chemist."

That isn't the art, that is the structure for the artist to use to create the art.
The process may be technical. The media and materials as well as their production may be technical. But I would say that quality art itself rarely is technical. There will always be exceptions in art, however.
The artists themselves may be highly technical, though. We do tend to confuse the person with the product in all sorts of things.
Just my opinion.

I would argue the shift occurred once all of the more technical aspects had been fully explored and “figured out”. Most artists in 2021 are no longer really focused on, or even involved in, pushing the envelope on the technical aspects of the craft. They are focusing on pushing the envelope regarding the expression of art itself, which is why that’s their perceived identity.
