The artist should be both a Dandy and a Flaneur:
Dandy: a man who only observes the city, is not part of them and has therefore a distant an critical view, he sees how real life is. He wants to see and be seen.
Flaneur: wanderer who wants to see the world, feels home everywhere he goes, is a spectator.
