Suffering and Art



I found this eloquent portrayal of suffering in the creation of art here on the Art News Blog. There was something so poignant in this little clip--reminded me of Saint Exupery's Little Prince who, if you recall his relationship with the rose, knew something of suffering too.

I don't know that suffering is essential to the making of art, but art always seems to have the power to transform such experiences into something transcendant.
