Summary/Abstract: Ever since Romanticism, when the novel began to take over the role of the dominant genre in literature, an artist became one of the main themes and preoccupations: an artist, a poet, a painter, a composer – all typical characters from that period until today. In the society an artist usually becomes social or psychological outsider and a loner. The problem arises when you need to merge two identities - a man and an artist. The artist is created in the man, but one part of the man in never changed - although our experiences are constantly changing, a core of our personality that is hard to describe, always remains the same despite all the changes we are exposed to.
