It seems clear to me that The Bank of England need ' Educating ' in defining just exactly what ' Visual Art' is ? if you would just pause for one moment and look around you, then you will ' see' that all things created in the universe IS a Visual Art.

Of course Hairdressing is a visual art and Vidal was a visual artist. But then again you likely pay only five quid for a haircut so you are walking around contributing to visual pollution via a bad un-artistic haircut so what would you know?

What an outrage to not be considered a visual artist as someone in the industry 10 years now.

What artistic image of any person ever produced did not include styling of the hair? What name other than Vidal Sassoon is more recognized in the world for visual artistry outside of its own niche...and has done so much to elevate so many who do the same work but don't share the same name or earn money for said name?
