:''This article is about the '''History of creativity'''. For the main article, see '''[[Creativity]]'''.''
{{TOCright}}The ways in which societies have perceived the [[concept]] of [[creativity]] have changed throughout history, as has the [[terminology|term]] itself. The [[ancient Greece|ancient Greek]] concept of [[art]] (in Greek, "''techne''" — the root of "technique" and "technology"), except for [[poetry]], involved not freedom of action but subjection to ''rules''. In [[ancient Rome|Rome]], the Greek concept was partly shaken, and [[visual art]]ists were viewed as sharing, with poets, [[imagination]] and [[artistic inspiration|inspiration]].


The Norwegian [[twin cities]] [[Stavanger/Sandnes]], together with English [[Liverpool]], are [[European Capital of Culture|European Capitals of Culture]] for 2008.
Under [[medieval]] [[Christianity]], the [[Latin]] "''creatio''" came to designate [[God]]'s act of "''[[creatio ex nihilo]]''" ("creation from nothing"); thus "''creatio''" ceased to apply to human activities. The Middle Ages, however, went even further than antiquity, when they revoked poetry's exceptional status: it, too, was an art and therefore craft and not creativity.


==Events==
[[Renaissance]] men sought to give voice to their sense of their freedom and creativity. The first to apply the word, "creativity," however, was the 17th-century [[Poland|Polish]] poet, [[Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski]] — but he applied it only to poetry. For over a century and a half, the idea of human creativity met with resistance, due to the expression "creation" being reserved for creation "from nothing."


===Anniversaries===
In the [[19th century]], art took its revenge: now not only was it recognized as creativity, but ''it alone'' was. When later, at the turn of the [[20th century]], there began to be discussion as well of creativity in the [[sciences]] and in [[nature]], this was taken as the transference, to the sciences and to nature, of concepts proper to art.

The [[ancient Greeks]] had no terms corresponding to "to create" or "creator." The expression "''poiein''" ("to make") sufficed. And even that was not extended to [[art]] in general, but only to ''poiesis'' ([[poetry]]) and to the ''poietes'' ([[poet]], or "maker") who ''made'' it. [[Plato]] asks in ''[[The Republic]]'', "Will we say, of a painter, that he makes something?" and answers, "Certainly not, he merely [[mimesis|imitates]]." To the ancient Greeks, the concept of a creator and of creativity implied freedom of action, whereas the Greeks' concept of art involved subjection to laws and rules. Art (in [[Greek language|Greek]], "''techne''") was "the making of things, according to rules." It contained no creativity, and it would have been — in the Greeks' view — a bad state of affairs if it ''had''.<ref>[[Władysław Tatarkiewicz]], ''A History of Six Ideas: an Essay in Aesthetics'', p. 244.</ref>

==Arts and literature==
The sole exception to this Greek view — a ''great'' exception — was [[poetry]]. The poet made new things — brought to life a new world — while the [[art|artist]] merely ''imitated''. And the poet, unlike the artist, was ''not'' bound by laws. There were no terms corresponding to "creativity" or "creator," but in reality the poet was understood to be one who creates. And only he was so understood. In [[music]], there was no freedom: melodies were prescribed, particularly for ceremonies and entertainments, and were known tellingly as "''nomoi''" ("laws"). In the [[visual arts]], freedom was limited by the [[Body proportions|proportions]] that [[Polyclitus (sculptor)|Polyclitus]] had established for the human frame, and which he called "the canon" (meaning, "measure"). [[Plato]] argued in ''[[Timaeus]]'' that, to execute a good work, one must contemplate an eternal model. Later the [[Roman Republic|Roman]], [[Cicero]], would write that art embraces those things "of which we have knowledge" ("''quae sciuntur''").<ref>Tatarkiewicz, p. 245.</ref>

Poets saw things differently. Book I of the ''[[Odyssey]]'' asks, "Why forbid the singer to please us with singing ''as he himself will?''" [[Aristotle]] had doubts as to whether poetry was imitation of reality, and as to whether it required adherence to truth: it was, rather, the realm of that "which is neither true nor false."<ref>Tatarkiewicz, pp. 245–46.</ref>

==Sports==
In [[Rome]], these Greek concepts were partly shaken. [[Horace]] wrote that not only poets but painters as well were entitled to the privilege of daring whatever they wished to ("''quod libet audendi''"). In the declining period of antiquity, [[Philostratus]] wrote that "one can discover a similarity between [[poetry]] and [[art]] and find that they have [[imagination]] in common." [[Callistratos]] averred that "Not only is the art of the [[poet]]s and [[prose|prosaist]]s inspired, but likewise the hands of [[sculptor]]s are gifted with the blessing of divine [[inspiration]]." This was something new: [[classical Greece|classical Greeks]] had not applied the [[concept]]s of [[imagination]] and [[inspiration]] to the [[visual arts]] but had restricted them to [[poetry]]. [[Latin]] was richer than [[Greek language|Greek]]: it had a term for "creating" ("''creatio''") and for "''creator''," and had ''two'' expressions — "''facere''" and "''creare''" — where Greek had but one, "''poiein''." Still, the two Latin terms meant much the same thing.<ref>Tatarkiewicz, p. 246.</ref>

==Births==
A fundamental change, however, came in the [[Christianity|Christian]] period: "''creatio''" came to designate [[God]]'s act of "creation from nothing" ("''creatio ex nihilo''"). "''Creatio''" thus took on a different meaning than "''facere''" ("to make"), and ceased to apply to human functions. As the [[6th century|6th-century]] Roman official and literary figure [[Cassiodorus]] wrote, "things made and created differ, for we can make, who cannot create."<ref>Tatarkiewicz, p. 247.</ref>

Alongside this new, [[religion|religious]] interpretation of the expression, there persisted the ancient view that art is not a domain of creativity. This is seen in two early and influential Christian writers, [[Pseudo-Dionysius]] and [[Augustine of Hippo|St. Augustine]]. Later [[medieval]] men such as [[Hraban the Moor]], and [[Robert Grosseteste]] in the [[13th century]], thought much the same way. The [[Middle Ages]] here went even further than [[classical antiquity|antiquity]]; they made no exception of poetry: it too had its rules, was an [[art]], and was therefore [[craft]] and not creativity.<ref>Tatarkiewicz, p. 247.</ref>

All this changed in modern times. [[Renaissance]] men had a sense of their own independence, freedom and creativity, and sought to give voice to this sense of independence and creativity. The philosopher [[Marsilio Ficino]] wrote that the artist "thinks up" ("''excogitatio''") his works; the theoretician of architecture and painting, [[Leon Battista Alberti]], that he "preordains" ("''preordinazione''"); [[Raphael]], that he shapes a painting according to his idea; [[Leonardo da Vinci]], that he employs "shapes that do not exist in nature"; [[Michelangelo]], that the artist realizes his vision rather than imitating nature; [[Giorgio Vasari]], that "nature is conquered by art"; the Venetian art theoretician, [[Paolo Pino]], that painting is "inventing what is not"; [[Paolo Veronese]], that painters avail themselves of the same liberties as do poets and madmen; [[Federico Zuccari]] ([[1542]]-[[1609]]), that the artist shapes "a new world, new paradises"; [[Cesare Cesariano]] ([[1483]]-[[1541]]), that architects are "demi-gods." Among [[musician]]s, the [[Holland|Dutch]] composer and musicologist [[Jan Tinctoris]] ([[1446]]-[[1511]]) demanded novelty in what a composer did, and defined a composer as "one who produces ''new'' songs."<ref>Tatarkiewicz, pp. 247–48.</ref>
{{reflist|2}}
[[Image:Sarbiewski.gif|thumb|left|70px|[[Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski|Sarbiewski]].]]
Still more emphatic were those who wrote about [[poetry]]: [[G.P. Capriano]] held ([[1555]]) that the poet's invention springs "from nothing." [[Francesco Patrizi]] ([[1586]]) saw poetry as "fiction," "shaping," "transformation."<ref>Tatarkiewicz, p. 248.</ref>


[[Category:2008 in Norway| ]]
Finally, at long last, someone ventured to use the word, "creation." He was the [[17th century|17th-century]] [[Poland|Polish]] poet and theoretician of poetry, [[Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski]] ([[1595]]-[[1640]]), known as "the last Latin poet." In his treatise, ''De perfecta poesi'', he not only wrote that a poet "invents," "after a fashion builds," but also that the poet "''creates anew''" ("''de novo creat''"). Sarbiewski even added: "in the manner of God" ("''instar Dei''").<ref>Tatarkiewicz, p. 248.</ref>
[[Category:2008 by country|Norway]]
[[Image:Baltasar-gracian.gif|thumb|100px|[[Baltasar Gracián|Gracián]].]]
Sarbiewski, however, regarded creativity as the exclusive privilege of poetry; creativity was not open to visual artists. "Other arts merely imitate and copy but do not create, because they assume the existence of the material from which they create or of the subject." As late as the end of the [[17th century]], [[André Félibien]] ([[1619]]-[[1675]]) would write that the painter is "so to speak [a] creator." The [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Jesuit]] [[Baltasar Gracián]] ([[1601]]-[[1658]]) wrote similarly as Sarbiewski: "Art is the completion of nature, as it were ''a second Creator''..."<ref>Tatarkiewicz, p. 248.</ref>

By the [[18th century]], the concept of creativity was appearing more often in art theory. It was linked with the concept of [[imagination]], which was on all lips. [[Joseph Addison]] wrote that the imagination "has something in it like creation." [[Voltaire]] declared ([[1740]]) that "the true poet is creative." With both these authors, however, this was rather only a ''comparison'' of poet with creator.<ref>Tatarkiewicz, pp. 248–49.</ref>
[[Image:Greuze, Portrait of Diderot.jpg|thumb|right|60px|[[Denis Diderot|Diderot]].]]
Other writers took a different view. [[Denis Diderot]] felt that imagination is merely "the memory of forms and contents," and "creates nothing" but only combines, magnifies or diminishes. It was precisely in [[18th century|18th-century]] [[France]], indeed, that the idea of man's creativity met with resistance. [[Charles Batteux]] wrote that "The human mind ''cannot create'', strictly speaking; all its products bear the stigmata of their model; even monsters invented by an imagination unhampered by laws can only be composed of parts taken from nature." [[Luc de Clapiers, marquis de Vauvenargues]] ([[1715]]-[[1747]]), and [[Étienne Bonnot de Condillac]] ([[1715]]-[[1780]]) spoke to a similar effect.<ref>Tatarkiewicz, p. 249.</ref>

Their resistance to the idea of human creativity had a triple source. The expression, "creation," was then reserved for creation ''ex nihilo'' ([[Latin]]: "from nothing"), which was inaccessible to man. Second, creation is a mysterious act, and [[Age of Enlightenment|Enlightenment]] psychology did not admit of mysteries. Third, artists of the age were attached to their rules, and creativity seemed irreconcilable with rules. The latter objection was the weakest, as it was already beginning to be realized (e.g., by [[Houdar de la Motte]], [[1715]]) that rules ultimately are a ''human invention''.<ref>Tatarkiewicz, p. 249.</ref>
[[Image:Henri Bergson.jpg|thumb|70px|[[Henri Bergson|Bergson]].]]
In the [[19th century]], art took its compensation for the resistance of preceding centuries against recognizing it as creativity. Now not only was art regarded as creativity, but ''it alone'' was so regarded. When later, at the turn of the [[20th century]], there began to be discussion as well of creativity in the [[science]]s (e.g., [[Jan Łukasiewicz]], [[1878]]-[[1956]]) and in [[nature]] (e.g., [[Henri Bergson]]), this was generally taken as the transference, to the sciences and to nature, of concepts proper to [[art]].<ref>Tatarkiewicz, p. 249.</ref>

The start of the ''scientific'' study of creativity is sometimes taken as [[J. P. Guilford]]'s 1950 address to the [[American Psychological Association]], which helped popularize the subject.

Other students of creativity have taken a more pragmatic approach, teaching practical [[creativity techniques]]. Three of the best-known are [[Alex Osborn]]'s "[[brainstorming]]" (1950s to present), [[Genrikh Altshuller]]'s Theory of Inventive Problem-Solving ([[TRIZ]], 1950s to present), and [[Edward de Bono]]'s "[[lateral thinking]]" (1960s to present).
