Do artists need to suffer to create something truly great?

Some do, some don't. Did Shakespeare suffer very much throughout his lifetime?

>> No.12983667

>>12983634
People who don't suffer have nothing interesting to say.

Shakey just recreated stuff from shit he stole. He was a businessman, not a writer.

You might consider if there's a person alive who has not suffered.

Yes, but I would expand that to say an artist requires some form of inner conflict to create.

I have never suffered. Am I missing out?

Not necessarily. Though, Art born from suffering, and created through struggle, is most inspiring for individuals who share affinity in overcoming. Art that rests in a ceaseless lifestyle of creating Art, spiritually tends toward its transcendent source, and, in recursive motion, becomes more exalted, and more sublime, as vision of the latter becomes clearer.
