I don't have a degree. I never have been asked if I had one. My work was my degree. I am glad I did not waste anymore time in my school learning nothing of use to me to get a degree. The only person who regretted I did not get a degree was my mother.

A list of artists who did not have degrees: Sargent, Van Gogh, Manet, Monet, Gauguin, Kollwitz,Frieseke, Klimt, Cassat, Degas etc. In the later 209th Century - Basquiat.

A degree has only become important, the BFA's, The MFA's in the latter half of the 20th century. They have certified a lot of Junk.

These artists have degrees: http://www.maryboonegallery.com/arti...lins_info.html

It is a crap shoot.

Take some time to consider this.
