David Hockney's embrace of the iPad in 2008 faced criticism from traditionalists questioning the skill required for digital art. Despite initial resistance, the art world continues evolving, highlighted by King Charles III commissioning a digital record of his tour for the first time. Artist Fraser Scarfe recorded the King's visit to Italy using a tablet. This shift signifies broader acceptance of digital artistry and challenges longstanding beliefs that tool choice limits artistic merit.
"The same institution that values tradition above almost everything else has quietly acknowledged that artistic merit isn't about the tools you use - it's about what you create with them."
"For the first time ever, a royal tour was captured not on canvas, but digitally. Fraser Scarfe, a 38-year-old artist from Lincolnshire, became the first tour artist to create his official record using a tablet during the King's state visit to Italy."
