Abstract

This chapter deals with an intriguing theme: the relationship between the arts, artists, and creativity. New technologies remain in the background. A detailed analysis of the new forms of art connected with the use of digital technologies would have deserved much more space and, above all, a great effort. Furthermore, any philosophical discourse on the meaning and purpose of art has been avoided in order to focus on the relationship between the arts, artists, and creativity. In the popular view, artists are seen as being creative individuals. It follows that it is often obligatory for an artist to demonstrate their originality, even through paradoxical forms of expression. Irreverence, protest, insolence, derision, arrogance, mockery, discomfort, and disgust are often contemporary artists' basic ingredients to build their artistic productions. Technology can help them to express their originality hyperbolically. Rather than providing answers, this chapter explores how creative ability finds its most natural expression in art.
