You can suffer for your art, and you can make your own self suffer for your art. You don't need anyone else to do it for you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I unfortunately do suffer for my art.
Creating art is painful. It takes time, practice, and the courage to stand alone.
Art is for healing ourselves, and everybody needs their own personal art to heal up their problems.
Pain is such an important thing in life. I think that as an artist you have to experience suffering.
I don't think you should ever damage other people for your art.
If my art has nothing to do with people's pain and sorrow, what is 'art' for?
Art never harms itself by keeping aloof from the social problems of the day: rather, by so doing, it more completely realises for us that which we desire.
It's a great excuse and luxury, having a job and blaming it for your inability to do your own art. When you don't have to work, you are left with the horror of facing your own lack of imagination and your own emptiness. A devastating possibility when finally time is your own.
If you're an artist, you have to use everything to your advantage, even the pain.
I think it's what art should do: make you feel less alone - either in the quest for truth or in dealing with any pain you have.
