Title |
Leonard Cohen’s Lives in Art: The Story of the Artist in His Novels, Poems and Song
|
Abstract |
The author argues that the concerns of the “artist-figure” are a central issue in the work of Leonard Cohen (1934-2016). He maintains that Cohen's novels, poems, and songs, seen as a whole, form a portrait-of-the-artist. The author asserts that Cohen's artist-figure endeavours both to make art and to self-create, and this creative impulse is simultaneously propelled and hindered by the romantic-love relationship, by the demands of an artist's role in the public sphere, by the aesthetic requirements of art itself, and by spiritual and religious issues.
