Does an artist need to experience turmoil and suffering in order to produce great art? And if so, does the turmoil and anxiety experienced while painting count as said suffering?
One of my favorite paintings by a friend came directly from turmoil and suffering. I bought it and it now resides in my living room. So I think it can be good :-)
how can one not suffer despair or turmoil with our current state of affairs and the amount of (documented) genocide surrounding us? (I just finished reading the autobiography that the movie Hotel Rwanda portrayed.)
