So was Phil Irving a brilliant artist or a brilliant engineer, or both? I prefer to think of him as brilliant engineer, just because something is pleasing to eye does not to my mind make it art, its all getting a bit blurred, I think a lot of it is 'The King With No Clothes' but if you want to see some really wonderful art crafted in metal take a look at 'The Bag' by Gavin Turk.....
