Summary "Immortal Youth: A Study in the Will to Create" by Lucien Price is a memoir that captures the essence of artistic ambition and the struggle between creation and societal expectations, written in the early 20th century. The book primarily focuses on the life of a young aspiring artist named Fred Demmler, who confronts the challenges posed by a commercial society that often undervalues creative pursuits. Price deftly explores themes of artistic integrity, personal ambition, and the conflicts faced by artists in a world that often values material success over creative expression. The narrative unfolds through the lens of Fritz's artistic journey, revealing his passion for portrait painting and his desire to remain true to himself amidst discouragement and societal pressure. As he navigates life in an art colony in Boston, Fritz forms meaningful relationships, engages with influential thinkers and artists, and ultimately grapples with the moral implications of war and creativity. His experiences culminate in his service during World War I, where he is torn between his artistic aspirations and the demands of military duty. Price portrays Fritz not just as a talented painter but as a symbol of youthful idealism, challenging readers to reflect on the importance of creativity in the face of systemic challenges.
