概要	In “The Artist of the Beautiful”, Nathaniel Hawthorne portrays an ideal artist, Owen Warland, who tries to create the beautiful in a butterfly made up of parts of watches, and who finally succeeds. Owen thus surely embodies the ideal artist Hawthorne imagines. However, it should be noted that Owen faces quotidian problems; he has to work as a watchmaker to earn money, and nobody regards his butterfly as significant. Considered in this light, it is reasonable to assume that what Hawthorne tries to depict in the story of Owen is the harsh reality an artist encounters. This paper aims to elucidate the dilemma of an artist, which Hawthorne delineates in his portrait of Owen.
