Abstract
This article examines portrayals of visual artists in novels by Pat Barker and A.S. Byatt, focusing on artists’ appeal to writers, and the associated ethical and artistic challenges. It proposes that artist characters can offer creative ways of probing not only particular periods of history, but the creative process itself.
