About the Artist
The internationally acclaimed artist known only as "Anonymous" has enjoyed unequaled renown throughout a long and productive lifetime — yet little is known about him (or her)! Uncertain about the exact year of his (or her) birth, most biographers play it safe and say only that he (or she) was born "many years ago."
Perhaps recognizing both the ultimate futility of nationalism and the near universal popularity that this artist has long enjoyed amongst most peoples of the world, Anonymous long ago renounced all patriotic affiliation with any particular country, and has truly become a citizen of the world. Nevertheless, based on a close study of the etymology of the name (Ανώνυμος), some researchers theorize that Anonymous may be of Greek or Coptic extraction.
Arguably the single most prolific artist in history, Anonymous travels extensively and has dabbled — and often excelled — in virtually every conceivable medium and artform, from Cycladic sculpture to YouTube video, and everything in between. This unquestionable creative genius for the ages is also an accomplished musician, poet, and prose stylist.
Ironically, there are literally millions of photographs of this reclusive celebrity. All of them, unfortunately, are quite grainy and poorly lit (since they were taken by ATM security cameras in numerous locales around the world). Exceedingly protective of the privacy that has been accorded to this artist, Anonymous resides in parts unknown but continues to work, write, and compose at a staggering rate of output, with no sign of letting up — all the more amazing, given the advanced years of this beloved artist.
