Yes, you can change the artist picture on iTunes, but directly through your iTunes or Apple Music app might not be possible for users. To customize the artist's picture, one would typically need to use the Apple Music for Artists platform. This platform allows artists or their representatives to update their pictures. If you are a listener wishing to see a different picture, unfortunately, the control lies with the artist or their management. For a personal library, consider adding custom album artwork through the 'Get Info' option on individual tracks or albums.
