Features: Modern art often regards the non-utilitarian nature of aesthetics as the essential characteristic of art. Because utilitarianism often leads to the subordination and compromise of individuality, thereby hindering the expression and promotion of artistic individuality. From this perspective, the rebels are the true artists. This is not only about their art but also about their lives—this is the key to interpreting the rebels. The basic idea of this book is precisely to reveal the subtle, elusive yet sensitive and real interactive relationship between art and society through the exploration of artistic rebels. This relationship is based on the context of traditional culture, and this narrative undoubtedly makes the theme appear heavy and full of tragedy. However, whether it is heavy or tragic, the narration of history is merely intended to remind us of the reflection on reality.
