by Bjarne Sode (Roskilde University, Denmark) Funch
EPUB
Description
This ground-breaking book provides a unique insight into artistic creativity that lays the foundation for a new theory.
Through a review of documents such as essays, published interviews, lecture notes, and more, the book uses case studies of six contemporary artists to provide a detailed phenomenological study of artistic creativity. The book offers a narrative account of six contemporary artists and their ways of approaching art-making.
Through comprehensive accounts based on the individual artist’s descriptions, the book reveals an existential dimension of art-making that explores the inspirational moment, the state of mind during creativity, how creativity can originate in a spontaneous stream of consciousness, and how emotions play a major role in the creative process.
The book sets out a unique understanding of artistic creativity as an alternative to the prevailing cognitive conceptions within psychology.
Offering novel insights into how art is created and can influence the human psyche, the book will primarily appeal to academics, scholars, and post-graduate students within the area of creativity research, psychological aesthetics, and the psychology of art, as well as those with an interest in art and artistic work.
