Closed [Hot/Cold] State of the Art

[Jacqueline Hyde]

I'm thinking of an artist, as in visual art.

Rules:

• You have 9 guesses (in total, not each)
• Every guess must be an actual artist
• You will be given a temperature indicator and a hint with each guess
• First correct answer, or 9th incorrect guess closes the game
