ABSTRACT

This study discusses the relationship between the concept of artistic creativity and its manifestation in social systems. The dominant conceptualization about artistic creativity presupposes free individualism in artistic creation which depends on inexplicable attributes of inspiration and genius. However, a historical review of the social integration of art reveals that the dominant perception was established in a specific social condition: art market in the late 19th century. Similar to traditional art patrons, school and state systems offer not only support but also constrains. Although art education exalts hyper-personal process of art creation, it cannot be taught, and thus the teaching of actual craft or technique of art media prevails. State policy of sponsoring art has a tendency of artists’ depending on state, resulting in engrossment of governmental power over individuals. In general, rational administration of centrally controlled social systems, which pursues stability and predictability, contracts the dominant perception of artistic creativity.
