Hai Shu, Van Gogh, Osamu Dazai, what are the characteristics of artists that are different from ordinary people?

When we talk about artists, we are reminded of a very popular saying on the Internet at this stage: The master is wandering. Although this is a joke, it does express one of the characteristics of artists: they are not gregarious. An artist must be able to discover the beauty hidden in life. In the eyes of artists, life is full of beauty, but we lack this pair of eyes that can discover beauty, and artists must work hard to find the beauty hidden in life.

So sometimes the behavior of artists seems to us to be extremely absurd. We cannot understand what they want to do and what they want to express. This makes us feel that the artist is lonely and unsociable. To be honest, artists do. Therefore, we cannot reach a consensus with the artist in a certain aspect. There are also artists who are proud. Pride here is not a derogatory term, but a complimentary term, referring to the pride of the literati.

An artist must always maintain his true nature and adhere to his original intention. Keep exploring on the road of art so that they can discover the scenery along the way. If artists are very susceptible to the temptation of money and beauty from the outside world, then I think most of the works they create will be vulgar and full of the smell of copper.

This is undoubtedly a torture for them. So sometimes, an artist is extremely proud and refuses to bow down for other items that have nothing to do with art. In fact, I agree with this. I think some of the masters circulating on the Internet are not worthy of being called artists at all, let alone being called masters. They are just people driven by money and sensationalizing. Is that kind of person interesting? Not interesting. In my eyes, they are actually advanced clowns.
