They began to argue that the life of emotion and desire did matter, was worth expressing, and had relevance to the entire world. As the 1920s and the 1930s emerged, the answers to the artists’ questions shifted increasingly toward an inner self more publicly revealed and a society more directly engaged. These questions provide a glimpse into the importance of the inner life, its validity and significance in the broader political and social context. It discusses what is meant by being an artist, and the meaning of art, representation, meaning, and social responsibility. This chapter discusses the questions of expression and politicization. This formulation of essence is more than sexual and gendered behavior, but it shared the notion that an interior truth about people spoke the most about who they were. Although the artists did not focus entirely on desire, they wrestled with the related task of expressing the artist’s “essence”-an “inner self” which they saw as constituted by feelings and psychological constructs.

In doing so, they framed a discussion similar to the arguments about the continuity of sexual desires and the relationships between those inner desires and external behavior. Within their community structure, the artists grappled with many questions about how much and in what way the artist could strip life down to its fundamentals and convey those through art. Contrary to the common belief that Los Angeles was devoid of an art community before the 1950s, Edendale artists constructed a community for themselves around the passion of artistic expression. In the 1920s and 1930s, as the film industry left for other neighborhoods, a group of writers, painters, sculptors, and printers settled in their wake among the hills of Edendale.
