Sociologists, psychologists and economists have studied many aspects of the effects on human creativity, especially that of artists, of the social setting in which creative activity takes place. In the last hundred and fifty years or so, the field of advanced creation in visual art has been heavily characterized by the existence of artistic movements, small groupings of artists having aesthetic or programmatic similarities and using the group to further their collective programme, and, one would suppose, their individual careers and creative trajectories. This is true of Canadian painting, with such movements as the Group of Seven or the Automatistes being of major importance. We econometrically investigate the effect on career dynamics of artists as represented by the life-cycle pattern of prices obtained by their works at auction, in estimating a hedonic regression for Canadian painters, in which variables representing the effect of a number of specific artistic groupings on the career price profiles of the members of the movements are included. Based on distinctions in the art historical and sociological literature among different categorizations of modern artistic grouping, we posit that the creativity effects of group membership can depend on the category of grouping to which an artist belongs, and distinguish between avant-garde movements and more general groupings of modern artists. We argue that this distinction reflects the general dichotomy in network creativity analysis between “strong ties” and “loose ties” groupings.

社会学家、心理学家和经济学家已经研究了对人类创造力的影响的许多方面，尤其是对艺术家的影响，以及创造性活动发生的社会环境。在过去一百五十年左右的时间里，视觉艺术高级创作领域的特点是艺术运动的存在，具有审美或程序相似性的艺术家小团体，并利用该团体来推进他们的集体计划，以及，人们会假设，他们的个人职业和创作轨迹。加拿大绘画也是如此，七人组或自动派等运动非常重要。我们以计量经济学的方式研究艺术家在拍卖中获得的价格生命周期模式对艺术家职业动态的影响，在估计加拿大画家的享乐回归时，其中包括了代表一些特定艺术团体对运动成员职业价格概况影响的变量。基于艺术史和社会学文献对现代艺术群体的不同分类的区别，我们假设群体成员的创造力影响可以取决于艺术家所属的群体类别，并区分前卫运动和更一般的运动。现代艺术家的团体。我们认为，这种区别反映了网络创造力分析中“强关系”和“松散关系”分组之间的普遍二分法。其中包括代表一些特定艺术团体对运动成员职业生涯价格概况影响的变量。基于艺术史和社会学文献对现代艺术群体的不同分类的区别，我们假设群体成员的创造力影响可以取决于艺术家所属的群体类别，并区分前卫运动和更一般的运动。现代艺术家的团体。我们认为，这种区别反映了网络创造力分析中“强关系”和“松散关系”分组之间的普遍二分法。其中包括代表一些特定艺术团体对运动成员职业生涯价格概况影响的变量。基于艺术史和社会学文献对现代艺术群体的不同分类的区别，我们假设群体成员的创造力影响可以取决于艺术家所属的群体类别，并区分前卫运动和更一般的运动。现代艺术家的团体。我们认为，这种区别反映了网络创造力分析中“强关系”和“松散关系”分组之间的普遍二分法。我们假设团体成员的创造力影响可以取决于艺术家所属的团体类别，并区分前卫运动和更一般的现代艺术家团体。我们认为，这种区别反映了网络创造力分析中“强关系”和“松散关系”分组之间的普遍二分法。我们假设团体成员的创造力影响可以取决于艺术家所属的团体类别，并区分前卫运动和更一般的现代艺术家团体。我们认为，这种区别反映了网络创造力分析中“强关系”和“松散关系”分组之间的普遍二分法。
