Hi  All

We  all  know  that   Inside-Painting  artists  use  alternate  art  names (pen names)

I have  never  ( yet)  found a  a serious  analysis  of  why artists do this    but  my  assumption is  that  it's  for  one  of  several  reasons:

1.  They  change  their  art  names according to  different  phases  of their  career

2. They  change  their  names  according to  different  styles / themes

3.  When  selling  off  practice  bottles   cheaply  to  raise  cash for  living expenses  they  use a  different  art name  so as not  to " degrade" the  value  of their  best  works  under  their  real name  ( or  "prime" art name)

4.  They  actually  do   change  their  real    names  (this  can happen in China  more often  than in the   West )

5. They  adopt  the  name as  the  "Owner  "  of their  own  art  studio  e.g  "The  Owner  of  XYZ Studio"

6.  They  are  given a  nick-name  which they  eventually  adopt as their  given  name

7.  Any  other  reasons  ?  Does  anyone  know of  any ?

Also  does  anyone  know  of   where  I can  find  some   serious  research  into  this ?

___________

Now  here's  a  fun  little  competition ....   Cheesy

Can you  tell me  the  real  names  of the  artists  behind  these  art  names ?

Please  reply  ONLY  by  private  email  or  by  message  on the  Forum (you  can  find  my  email  address  in the  Forum  Registry )

Dear Peter,
      YF Yang explained to me that in China, artists and scholars, when they reached a certain level in the eyes of their master or teacher, were given an art name by him. After they felt that they had reached a higher level, they might give themselves another name. I am assuming that the traditional system did not die out.
Best,
 Joey
