註釋This is a study of the creative process as a way of knowing and a way of human relating. the approach is socio-psychological: the philosophical foundation is transactional, social constructionist theory. Within that framework, John Dewey's model of the creative process provides the subject matter and the method for the study of a creative woman, Betty Parsons. Betty Parsons lived from 1900-1982. She is legendary as an art dealer, and known, too, as a visual artist. My thesis is that Betty Parsons, to a great extent, lived Dewey's ideas of Art as Experience (which is the primary text for the work). the work includes a discussion of the creative process engaged in in doing the study, the creative process as modelled by Dewey, and the creative process as it may be seen to apply to Betty Parsons' life. the human relational perspective of all information is taken into account in the theoretical background of the work and in the form that work takes. An understanding of Betty Parsons on the level of fiction, legend and biography is presented, as is the idea of perspective in the biographic material itself. Betty Parsons' early life is presented in narrative collage form, as is her social and artistic relationship to the early American Abstract Expressionists, whose work she championed from the time before they became recognized to the time when they had begun to receive international recognition. This group of artists--like Dewey and as I have done in this study--took the creative process as subject matter and method. the text is complemented by reproductions of photographs of the people and art works which were entwined in the consciousness of "the Parsons' group."
