I think art can reflect tragedy.

Any art worthy of its name should address 'life', 'man', 'nature', 'death' and 'tragedy'.

People in misery is what most important in art.

I think art doesn't have to be created in a period of misery, but it certainly helps.

All art at a certain level is entertainment. We go to a tragedy by Sophocles to be entertained.

For me, art has to have two things to really blow me away: a strong concept and drama.

Art is man's distinctly human way of fighting death.

Theatre is how I first encountered art on any level.

Dance, theatre, etc. as art, will disappear along with the dominating 'expression' of tragedy and harmony: the movement of life itself will become harmonious.
