Banksy Is The Approximately Pop Creative Someone - Or Is He?

Banksy is the UK's favourite creative mortal according to a poll.

But which poll?


The Guardian


I flora the storey inwards an article past times Jonathan Jones inwards the Guardian
Banksy is the Brits’ favourite painter of all fourth dimension - is this condition deserved?  The secretive stenciller is no Rembrandt – precisely a novel poll shows that ‘high art’ alienates the populace to a greater extent than than whatsoever other cultural form
No it doesn't genuinely - precisely Jonathan never lets facts teach inwards the agency of a expert diatribe!

It turned out he was referencing The Sun
According to a poll reported inwards the Sun, the secretive stenciller is “Brits’ favourite painter of all time ... beating greats such equally Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh, Rembrandt too Monet.”
Banksy official website - July 2019 - too no reaction to beingness the "Brits favourite painter"

The Sun


So I went to bring a hold off at The Sun, thinking it's a really long fourth dimension since I've seen The Dominicus interested inwards "Art"!!

Turns out inwards their article Banksy named equally Britain’s favourite painter of all fourth dimension inwards nationwide poll that they were referencing a poll inwards Homes too Antiques Magazine
More than 2,000 adults were asked to refer their favourite painters or sculptor — too Banksy was the solely living creative mortal to build the exceed ten. Mel Sherwood, editor of Homes & Antiques magazine, said: “It is both surprising too exciting to come across Banksy at the exceed of this poll.

Homes & Antiques Magazine Poll past times YouGov


...and hence lastly I teach inwards to Homes & Antiques Magazine (shame on yous Jonathan Jones for non genuinely reading the Sun's article!)

 ...to notice that they bring something called The Art Issue 2019 too the poll was commissioned for that.

Their article Banksy named UK’s favourite creative mortal of all time suggests that
Controversial street creative mortal Banksy has been named the UK’s favourite creative mortal of all fourth dimension inwards a poll nosotros conducted inwards conjunction amongst YouGov to celebrate the liberate of our annual Art Issue. The renowned creative mortal took the Pb over to a greater extent than traditional artists such equally Claude Monet too Vincent Van Gough. 
The poll, of to a greater extent than than 2,000 Great Britain adults, asked respondents to refer their favourite creative mortal of all time. The Top twenty features a hit of artists including impressionists, sculptors, masters too painters from the 14th century right upward to the modern day.
Their exceed twenty inwards the poll for Homes Antiques Magazine are
The UK’s exceed twenty favourite artists of all time:
  1. Banksy
  2. Claude Monet
  3. Vincent Van Gough
  4. John Constable
  5. Leonardo Da Vinci

  10. Michelangelo
  11. Rembrandt
  12. David Hockney
  13. Henry Moore
  14. Rodin
  15. Jack Vettriano (spelt incorrectly - equally "Vetrianno" sic - inwards the article)
  16. Andy Warhol
  17. Caravaggio
  18. Degas
  19. Magritte
  20. Antony Gormley ( around other wrong spelling - equally Anthony Gormley! Send that journalist to a spelling bee for artists!)
Banksy says piddling too what he does state he says on Instagram - precisely no answer to the poll!


On the other hand.....if yous teach to YouGov


On the other mitt if yous teach to YouGov site too plug inwards "art" equally a search term yous teach a answer for "The most Popular Artists inwards the UK" - which is a standing Poll on the YouGov site.

Sp presumably YouGov asked a really specific Great Britain instance 2,000 people for the Poll for Home & Antiques Magazine to teach banksy equally the most pop creative mortal liked past times the Brits....

What is rather expert almost the poll is yous tin cheque out

  • popularity (most liked)
  • fame (heard of)
too and then past times specific groups
  • Millennials
  • Gen X
  • Baby Boomers
  • Men
  • Women
Turns out they all mean value pretty much the same - too Banksy keeps getting quaternary place

If yous hold off nether "all" too then yous get

Leonardo da Vinci is the most popular creative mortal too the 2d most famous. Leonardo da Vinci is described past times fans as: Genius, Brilliant, Ahead of the curve, Inspiring too Multi-talented.

My local Banksy - which I liked a lot - until around talk [expletive deleted] from the Council whitewashed it out...
So, bottom work - produce non worry - Banksy is non going to teach inwards into the Queen's gallery similar Leonardo da Vinci whatsoever fourth dimension soon! ;)
