Features: This book examines the relationship between artworks themselves, or their creative environment and reception conditions, so it is unrelated to art history. In fact, the subject of this book is not artworks but their authors. At the same time, this book is also unrelated to creative psychology, as we do not study these authors as individuals with motivations and talents, but rather as individuals within a category. On one hand, this category can determine their status, and on the other hand, certain artists contribute to the definition and transformation of the category. Like all popular reading materials, this book draws heavily on previously published works, primarily two books from Midnight Press: "From Painter to Artist: Craftsmen and Academician of the Classicist Period" (1993) and "The Glory of Van Gogh: An Anthropological Note on the Cult of the Artist" (1991), which respectively provide the main material for the book's , fourth part, and third and fourth parts. Articles from other magazines also provide material for the second and third parts, while these parts also utilize some unpublished research findings. The evolution of the status of painters and sculptors reflects a significant turning point in the history of Western art. Its innovative significance continues to have a profound impact to this day.
