    To whom are you referring? Rembrandt? Michelango? Virtually all of the great painters and sculptors spent a significant period of time as apprentices to other painters and sculptors. Pick someone you think is "great" and do a search for their background on wikipedia. You will find that virtually NO ONE was "self taught." Well, maybe Grandma Moses was self-taught, but I would not put her work in the same category as Rembrandt or Michelangelo.
