AB - This article explores the relationship between artistic popularity and creator value by examining whether a work’s popularity connects to its creator. The analysis begins with Kant’s concept of common sense as a foundation for understanding popularity, describing it as a form of empathy experienced cognitively by large audiences that manifests as both subjective and universal, functioning as a cultural phenomenon across moral and aesthetic domains. The discussion then shifts to Aristotle’s perspective on the creator’s character, establishing that artists’ creative processes are influenced by their accumulated life experiences and habitual practices, with their attitudes, character traits, and lifestyle choices directly correlating to the excellence exhibited in their artistic skills. The article culminates by examining God’s creative activity in Genesis, characterized by solidarity and responsibility, and proposes that human creative endeavors derive from the essential nature of divine creation. Through this theological framework, the article concludes by addressing the implications for human creative activity and its inherent value, suggesting that artistic worth extends beyond popularity to encompass the creator’s moral and experiential dimensions.
