A Blacklock Sculptor
An Artist in Middle-earth was a person devoted and skilled in a special art, for the most part the term was applied to the most skilled Artificers and Craftsmen. Several cultures - such as the Dwarves, High-Elves, and Númenóreans - also had reached a cultural level where they knew skilled masters who dedicated themselves only to the fine arts. In these fields the term Artist would also be applied to great Singers, Dancers, Poets, Musicians, Actors, and Painters or Sculptors.
