What does an artist have to do to achieve something that catches the eyes of the world and enables them to see what the artist sees? That question breaks through in the subject of the artist and the world around them. What this means is what the artist looks at by the world being their main influence and subject matter or more the basis of their chosen matter. The world doesn't necessarily have to be the subject but has to be an influence in the way that the artist completes their own work and their experiences that led to that. Some artists stick to what the audience around them view while others might express their own personal feelings in them to make a point about something that strikes interest into the hearts and minds of certain individuals and/or groups.
Examples of an artist and their world is Alberto Giacometti. After having to suffer through the horrors of world war 2 a depression of a sort settled on his world and he depicts it in his sculptures and works. The people are thin, fragile and almost deteriorating on the outside but the deeper message that comes from his world also shows that they deteriorate on the inside as well.
This subject of matter is very deep and adds much meaning to everything because it also creates questioning of the art world. Where did the artist get the inspiration to create that piece? Why did the artist use these materials and why did he use them in that way? What was the meaning behind that certain piece of work? These questions create areas of study that relate back to the artist and their world.
