Some point in history, the relationship between ‘life’ and ‘art’ could be separated. They were whether separable or inseparable entities. There have been various different disputes between the thoughts of ‘art imitates life’ and ‘life imitates art’.
Some artists may discover that the ‘world of art’ (the art itself and the making of art) exists in a far distance and contradicts to the ‘world of real life’. This happens especially when they face with financial difficulties to continue working and supporting families. Life and Art have then come into confrontations like a fight between two rivalries.
