I know a story that works the other way around. Man Ray became famous for his photographs, but he always wanted to be accepted as a painter. He even published an essay entitled "Photography is Not Art".
Alberto giacometti also wanted to be seen as much as a painter as a sculptor, only the public preferred his sculptures most of the time.

When I was researching all the photographers, I was indeed surprised when I saw Man Ray's name. Wow, I said to myself, not only is he an artist, he is a photographer! That's a neat story. Thank you. :))))
