I guessed, but I think I'm on pretty safe ground when I say that a visual artist is anyone who does something they call art that is primarily experienced through vision: painters, scultpors, photographers, flimmakers, formal gardeners, architects, and craftsmen of various types. (That reminds me, I should do a tribute to Lee Wulff, the fellow who invented a class of hair winged fishing flies that bear his name.)

Hey tophat! Can I ask why you included the Danish Dannebrog flag when Piet Mondrian was Dutch?

Because I am nowhere near as clever as I pretend to be.
On the other hand, Holland doesn't, so far as I know, have any plan to try to claim the north pole, whereas Denmark does, and I can see a soggy-footed fellow favoring their claim. Since that claim is arcanely based on a submarine continuation of Greenland, injecting it into the public consciousness through a work of art (such as it is) might bolster their claim in the public eye somewhat. Or not.
On the gripping hand, I should have known better than to try to slide something I wasn't entirely sure about by folks here.
