I did not mean she changed the name with the purpose of resembling a tropical fruit. I meant she changed her name with the result of it resembling a tropical fruit. I actually had no idea why she had changed her name until I read up on her at Wikipedia.

your remark about "not the arts, but certainly creative" made me think of fashion. and from there it is only a small step to her.

ok, new one: female, deceased

by the way: only men can think of fashion as not being an art form, most women will be of a different opinion

I will ask my wife (she’s a painter) if she thinks fashion is art or not. It will probably be a lengthy discussion.

Dis she die in 1900 or later?

My wife said yes, fashion can be art. Then I called Thanasis (he plays the saxophone and he’s a fan of Adorno), and he also said yes. Then I talked to his girlfriend Dominica (she’s Belgian and plays the viola), and she said something like, "Good question! Sometimes fashion is art but most of the time it’s not."

I think Coco Chanel made art, and it was even political art. However, fashion is not normally considered art, so I would have been misleading you if I answered yes. Is architecture art? Goethe called it "frozen music", but most of the architecture I see is not art at all. And what would you call this?

Yes, she was European.

hint: she was the life partner of someone who was more famous than she, but in the same line of "work" as she. "work" can stand for any profession or art form here

as to architecture: it is actually regarded as one of the five fine arts (the other four being painting, sculpture music and poetry)

I don't think so. one can of course try to deny that there are psychological differences between men and women, but I am certain that this would be way off the mark. and one of those differences is that very few men care for fashion. of course there are exceptions, but I never denied that

Woah. You just changed your point. Whether men care about fashion or not was not what you said as can be clearly seen  above.
