Case Study Koestler 3

I have been considering my choice of the Koestler trust for the case study. It's not exactly high end Fine Art, although perhaps one could make a case conceptually. There is much to read in the art itself, as varied as the people who produce it.




But what really interests me is the creativity and the pursuit of art itself. I'm interested in the inspiration, and the way an artist at any stage inspires themself. The impulse to make art, the follow through to actual artwork, the choice of subject matter out of all the possibilities imaginable, are aspects endlessly fascinating.




I think Koestler represents a fulcrum of creativity, and where it really is a matter of life and purpose. Art is such anyway, outside of prison, and worthy as a pursuit for itself. Perhaps it serves to show the essential nature of creativity in relief.
