| Summary: | In order to remain dynamic and to make oneself distinguished, an artist may take different approaches; approaches which may, in turn, create new styles in art. If such an approach can be named going beyond oneself, then many artists may be nominated to have practiced it making novel styles. Going beyond oneself often follows two distinct ways: being inspired by other artists or adopting an anti-style action by the artist. Interestingly enough, it sometimes happens that certain artists, irrespective of their nationality or of their way of thinking, have become very close to each other in terms of artistic outlook and taste. Accordingly, a considerable amount of similarity can be seen among their works. Being inspired by one another has led to creation of novel artistic styles. Two of such artists are Kamalodin Behzad and David Hockney. Both went beyond themselves and beyond the common painting styles; the former by challenging his own style and the latter by being inspired by the oriental painting style. This research aimed to study certain works of Kamalodin Behzad and David Hockney comparatively in order to analyze and evaluate the similarities among their works and, hence, to examine the process of going beyond oneself by the artist. The data were mainly collected from library sources. The result of the study indicated that in the course of going beyond oneself, the styles are incorporated. It is, in fact, the very incorporation, in terms of form and content, that gives birth to new movements in art as well as to novel artistic styles. |
