The Artist in Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as A Young Man and Pink Floyd's The Wall .If the role of the artist is to objectively show society the truth of itself, then Pink emerges an artwork in himself, an accurate mirror of the forces that shaped him.Society, then, creates the artist, but it can also destroy him.Stephen fulfils his role as an artist by becoming a sort of teacher-shaman as he gives his discourses on esthetics to Lynch and prepares to depart into the world, like some wandering monk or sage.The artist must stand outside the changeable mindset of the average human being in orde... .

With a lighter and more enjoyable message to society there stands the works of the artist Peter Coad.Artists play several important roles in today’s society.There are far more examples that where available to me in writing this essay on the roles of visual artists in our society but I have felt that it’s only necessary to show enough information for each individual to come up with their own explanation of what artists do in our community.After researching the visual artists and how they affect our modern day culture I have come to a strong conclusion that artists present society with not only updates to events that would otherwise be shadowed by the media and governments but show a side to life that many people would never view.This pict...

But to Chinese female artists, the intention is to express their female touch and feeling in a changing Chinese society in which the women’s gender role is constantly changing and reshaping.In addition, her gaze turns to the viewer and marks us conscious of viewer’s role as outside observers.As a woman, she uses her sensibility to depict and voice for women’s gender role.In relation to this, the female artist thus gives superior importance to the role of women in Chinese society.“Witness to Growth”(1995),a painting of herself aged twenty-nine years old, Yu Hong’s daughter lying on her body, family burden (role of mother) and society change (modern woman) bring heavy pressure and make her rethink the meaning of gender role and seek the ba...

Is the modern artist still the same, or is the role of the artist changing completely from all the old templates and metamorphasizing into something altogether different?No none ever tries to "get into the mind" of a prehistoric artist.For vast majority of art history, the artist has been very unimportant.Until then, no none was concerned with the artist as anything but a tool to express the culture of the time.The approach of the year 2000 seems a good time to think about the way the role of art and the artist has changed through history, and how modern art is interpreted by a modern audience.

The crudity of the art on offer at the museum, which directly and unambiguously interrogates the role mass media has to play in the formation of mechanisms of racial hate, terrorism and power, echoes the sentiments of Joseph Buoys.His work in multiple medias over the years, from performance art involving blood letting to mass-produced flags that he would stain with his own blood, to more “traditional” painting, suggests that he is attempting to transform the image of the artist and how it is conceived by the masses.Because of Warhol’s techniques towards the mass dissemination of art and of factory produced Warhol pieces of art, the artist is no longer seen as objective and singular, and the “truth” offered by the artist is no longer situ...

Within this context, the society’s role as dealer was particularly disturbing to the younger, more forward-thinking minority, from whom exclusion from major exhibitions could have adverse financial consequences.” Similarly, the capitalist nature of art, coupled with the conservatism of the market made for a very difficult time for the progressive artist, and perhaps was a reason behind why Schiele opposed the artistic community with such fervency and vitriol, and often resorted to shock tactics and self-publicity to get himself heard.Schiele was certainly obsessed with portraying the self: his images, despite being, at times, shamelessly provocative and deliberately controversial to the conservative Viennese public (the pre-conceived rol...

For example, if it is asserted that Duchamp’s role was to reposition items of artistic worth and to place them into the political space of a gallery, this highlights the political rather than the aesthetic role of the gallery and the artist in measuring items of subjective worth.The boxes that demand the attention of the viewer, and disturb the cherished role and piece of the artistic piece disturbs and challenges the traditionally voyeuristic relationship between the artist and the work in question.Taken generally, the invention of an alter-ego who has as much artistic authority as the artist himself serves to obfuscate, delude and disorient the viewer of the art in itself; the notion of disguise functions as a means of disrupting the t...

In Death in Venice, in particular, Thomas Mann portrays within one human being the very German tension between the “artist” and the “citizen.” The protagonist, Gustav Aschenbach, struggles with a number of ungovernable conflicts revolving around his craft, his community and his social position.Initially, Basil Hallward believes that art reveals the artist more than it shows the subject of the artistic creation: “every portrait that is painted with a feeling is a portrait of the artists, not of the sitter.Following Nietzsche’s philosophy and, implicitly, the Aesthetic Movement creed, Thomas Mann was concerned with the role of the artist and the meaning of art in an emotionally barren modernist society.The importance that Thomas Mann gives...

London: Routledge, 1988. .They are behaviour traits learned in childhood to satisfy the demands of society.The artist, unlike the craftworker, was expected to know about the rules of perspective and about history and the classics, which provided subjects for paintings.Thus, because of restricted opportunities and the prejudices of society, it came about that no women were deemed to belong to the ranks of the “great artists”.Feminist artists seek to actively change society, and one of their achievements has been to draw attention to the stereotyped gender roles which appear in art, advertising and the media.

If the jury’s values differ from that of the artist, who defiantly considers his work serious, the artist expression is limited.The result of the committee was the “Miller test” that labeled art as obscene when “the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value” (378).Maybe they do not show human emotion to her because she believes only traditional “beautiful” things can invoke emotion, but they may invoke emotions in other viewers, which is the artist's purpose.A mutually supportive relationship between artists and society would be the ideal under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.But this statement also requires the question, by whose values?

It could be theorised that it is closely discussed with sex and social identity, for example a woman could be singing with a deep voice and be belittled due to her vocal characteristic “sounding like a man”, or a man could be wearing a pink dress and be belittled for “dressing like a woman”.It could be theorised that often artists such as Dead or Alive deviate and rebel from these norms and values to create controversy and perhaps increase popularity, album sales and publicity in the media.For example if one considers the artist Marilyn Manson.It could be argued that in comparison to Dead or Alive, Duran Duran has conformed to the norms and values regarding gender within the western/popular society.It could be suggested that gender is so...

Marxism is viable because it promotes inspiration on part of the artist, as well as affording an observing art beholder a unique avenue of interpretation.Eisenman supports the statement that art history itself, especially art history of the nineteenth century, has been significantly transformed by the prevailing attitudes of radical scholars; Marxist philosophy has played a signal role in overturning the formerly prevailing confidence that art history could be told as a straightforward, descriptive narrative independent of the interests, politics, gender, or ideology of artists, audiences, and critics (Eisenman 1994, p. 10).However, the singling of any art method as a useless art method lends itself to the practice of restriction, defeat...

To explain this cultural response, which ranges from bemusement to virulent condemnation, we must return to the more complex subtleties of Woolf's cultural analysis: to her discussions of the masculine privilege of the husband/father, the looking-glass role that heterosexual femininity plays to empower masculinity, and the perceived monstrosity of women writers who stray beyond the margins of their expected social roles.Winterson challenges the established "rules" of writing, publishing, reviewing--in sum, the cultural expectations for the woman artist in British society--constructing her life in order to argue against, as Woolf does in AROO, two cultural myths: that the artist can remain aloof from the material concerns necessary for th...
