For Virginia Woolf, the novel is essentially an art-form inwhich the novelist captures and recreates human experience.She prefers to paint pictures of artists in her novels,especially in To the Lighthouse, which, simply put, is awork of art about art and artists. This study on VirginiaWoolf’s artists in To the Lighthouse is based on thehypothesis that the artist is central to her work becauses/he provides the forum for self-discovery, self-dependence,and self-expression and preservation that are suitable forthe societal changes and new ego-centric humanity of theperiod.In four chapters, we have undertaken a study of the world ofTo the Lighthouse, the modern artist as an estranged andnon-conformist person, his/her experience, self-realisation,artistic vision, and finally the challenges faced, whichmake his/her work self-representational. It is basically anin-depth study of three artists, one male and two females,taking into consideration the socio-cultural, economic andartistic trends of the period. This study provides acomprehensive picture of the modern artist that isautobiographical, authoritative and representational.
