List of Rhineland-Palatinate artists
The list of Rhineland-Palatinate artists includes artists who were born in Rhineland-Palatinate or who work or have worked artistically in Rhineland-Palatinate. Artist groups and collaborations are not listed. The aim of the list is to give the user an overview of the Rhineland-Palatinate artist scene, to verify the individual artists and to assign them to their original art area.
The list is intended to be complete with regard to Wikipedia articles. Artists are accepted - if possible with their life data - from the following areas:
The individual areas can be differentiated through explanatory additions.
For the inclusion of an artist name in the list, the existence of relevance and reception in the art discourse is a prerequisite, i. That is, an encyclopedic article about the artist must in principle be possible according to the inclusion criteria of Wikipedia, even if the article does not yet exist. Artists of only local importance are not listed.
