DQs:
Greatest fame after 1950?
Best known as a sponsor, impresario, producer or the like?
Not best known as a sponsor, impresario, producer or the like
***** Meaning that I am not a painter, illustrator, or creator of any other two-dimensional work of art.
That’s 19 DQs; by my count there are eight unasked ones out there. How about each of you ask one more DQ and we go into endgame? (Of course, if you want to ask another set of this-might-be-the-guy IQs along with your DQ, I’ll answer them as well. :))
What’s not an artist but still considered creative arts? Producer = no, writer = no, performer = no, composer = no, 2D artist = no, leaving the possibility of sculptor, but sculpting is considered art. That leaves (maybe) photographer, metal worker, industrial designer, architect, print maker, interior designer, stage manager…
Not a painter, illustrator, or creator of any other two-dimensional work of art

And that’s it. You have until 0800 Sunday to talk it over and ask your “Firstname Lastname” DQs. I will of course check in once a day and answer any that have been asked.
Food for thought:
I made a business of my art.
Of the three of you, my story is probably most relevant to EH.
I am actually best known by a variant spelling of my last name. (Either version will be accepted as a correct guess.)
