Abstract: | The study is based on a global sample of 214 most prominent modern artists born 1850-1945. The research uses two analytical methods to analyse the age in which the artists produce their best works. The results suggest that the career patterns develop similarly over time for artists that work in the USA and Europe. Also, the artists that are associated with Fauvism, the Nabis and Post-Impressionism experience an early peak. Artists associated with e.g. Surrealism and Impressionism peak later in their careers. |
