Let’s focus on the magic of an artist: the artist contagion effect on products that feature art
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to empirically test the artist contagion effect. This effect suggests that the physical contact of the artist in creating the art leads to a transfer of the artist’s essence onto the artwork featured on a product, thereby enhancing consumers’ willingness to pay for such products featuring this art.
Design/methodology/approach
This research conducted four online experimental studies to examine the artist contagion effect.
Findings
This research first uncovered the transfer of the artist’s essence onto the art featured on a product, providing the foundation for the proposed artist contagion (prestudy). Following this, this research validated the artist contagion effect (Study 1) and then ruled out potential alternative explanations for the effect (Study 2). Lastly, this research demonstrated that the immorality of the artist can limit the artist contagion effect (Study 3).
Research limitations/implications
The perception of luxury has been regarded as a mediator explaining why a product featuring art can command a high product valuation. By conceptualizing and verifying the artist contagion effect, this research introduces another mediator, the artist’s essence, accountable for even a greater product valuation.
Practical implications
Visual artists should be included in the marketing of products featuring art. Marketers should communicate the physical contact that occurred during the creation of the art featured on a product.
Originality/value
This research highlights the crucial role of visual artists in the marketing of products featuring art, a role often overlooked in the extensively researched art infusion effect.

Lost in translation : an illustrated compendium of untranslatable words from around the world
\"An artistic collection of 50 drawings featuring unique, funny, and poignant foreign words that have no direct translation into English. Did you know that the Japanese have a word to express the way sunlight filters through the leaves of trees? Or that there's a Swedish word to describe the reflection of the moon across the water? The nuanced beauty of language is even more interesting and relevant in our highly communicative, globalized modern world. Lost in Translation brings this wonder to life with 50 ink illustrations featuring the foreign word, the language of origin, and a pithy definition. The words and definitions range from the lovely, such as goya, the Urdu word to describe the transporting suspension of belief that can occur in good storytelling, to the funny, like the Hawaiian pana po'o, which describes the act of scratching your head to remember something you've forgotten. Each beautiful, simple illustration adds just the right amount of visual intrigue to anchor the words and their meanings\"-- Provided by publisher.

Enhanced white matter fiber tract of the cortical visual system in visual artists: implications for creativity
This study aimed to examine the white matter characteristics of visual artists (VAs) in terms of visual creativity and the structural connectivity within the cortical visual system.Diffusion spectrum imaging was utilized to examine the changes in white matter within the cortical visual system of a group of VAs (n=25) in comparison to a group of healthy controls matched for age and education (n=24). To assess the integrity of white matter and its relationship with visual creativity, we conducted a comprehensive analysis using region-based and track-specific tractographic examinations.Our study uncovered that VAs demonstrated increased normalized quantitative anisotropy in specific brain regions, including the right inferior temporal gyrus and right lateral occipital gyrus, along with the corresponding white matter fiber tracts connecting these regions. These enhancements within the cortical visual system were also found to be correlated with measures of visual creativity obtained through psychological assessments.The noted enhancement in the white matter within the cortical visual system of VAs, along with its association with visual creativity, is consistent with earlier research demonstrating heightened functional connectivity in the same system among VAs. Our study's findings suggest a link between the visual creativity of VAs and structural alterations within the brain's visual system.
