Nathaniel Hawthornes The Artist of the Beautiful, Barbara Pollacks Stitches in Time, and Car Jungs The Spirit Man, Art and Literature The artist has been a whodunit to many of us unexplainably goaded in his work seemingly untroubled with any different aspects of his life often oblivious to the world near him. The artists in Nathaniel Hawthornes The Artist of the Beautiful, Barbara Pollacks Stitches in time, and Carl Jungs The Spirit in Man, Art, and Literature hold still for some or all of these characteristics. I decided to base this publisher on these readings because I found the ideas presented in them interesting and worth exploring.Jung writes a very interesting piece that examines the artists source of creativity. He dismisses Freuds claims that art stems from the own(prenominal) experience of the artist. Jung believes that the true essence of art grows from the rising above the in the flesh(predicate) and speaking from the mind and heart of the artist to the mind a nd heart of cosmos (para 156).Hawthorne also expresses this idea through his protagonist Owen Warland. Warland overcomes his feelings of frustration and rejection from society to fill out his creation and express his ideas. Through his beautiful (his creation) he is finally adequate to(p) to show what occupies his mind and heart. Warlands audience - Robert Danforth, Danforths wife Annie, their little son and Annies receive Peter Hovenden - is amazed Warland has finally completed his beautiful. The reader experiences similar awe with Stitches in Time it is amazing how women who feature little or no formal education, who spend most of their day farming, toiling and caring for families, discharge create such magnificent quilts from scrap material.Quilting fo... ...sts and the artsy types, which aligns with the views of many people, has in general been persons who have some sort of problem with themselves, their family and/or their sexuality. Jung notes that the artist cannot ha ve time to develop his human side for he moldiness revolve around on his artistic side for these are nothing but the regrettable results of his being an artist, a man upon whom a heavier burden is laid than indifferent mortals. A special ability demands a greater expenditure of energy, which must necessarily leave a deficit on some other side of life (paral 58).All three pieces portray artists who are driven to create, be it to fulfill their destinies or simply for pleasure. I believe the artist, same(p) the women of Gees Bend, should not separate himself from the world around him but immerse himself in the wonder that is life and draw from it the energy to create.
