Art touches the observer most when there was deep sadness or immense joy in the process by which or due to which it was made. This type of art comes from a place inside the artist where he feels something beyond words or means of straightforward communication. This kind of art is rarely inspired. The artist has usually experienced a feeling or an event that has pushed him over the edge, burned inside him to be expressed out to the world, possessed him so that his life exists for the reason that he must say what needs to be said. And it is this art that you and I view or listen to or read. Barely acknowledging the suffering that the artist went through in order to express it. Rarely understanding the emotions that drove him to create it.
