At the risk of being incredibly pedantic:

Both words come from the same Latin root:

L. ignorare; pref. in- not + the root of gnarus knowing

But ignorance means a lack of education or exposure and ignore is a willful turning away from knowledge.

I actually think the difference is germane to our discussion.

Literally, it is impossible to ignore what you are ignorant of.

So, maybe an artist is one who may ignore the rules, but is not ignorant of them?
