Do you have to be sad to make great art? [EXIF data available.

No. Any other questions?

You must be really happy, because that photo is really terrible

Usually yes. If you are happy/satisfied with your life, your art will be complacent / ironic. When the only functioning thing in your life is art, you are off to a good start.

there is good sad and bad sad. bad sad is the one that lefts you empty without motivation to do anything aka. common depression.

good sad is often a mix of melancholy and introspection. that one is good for creative purposes, since youre not numb like in the bad sad state, but with a hightened sensibility and awareness of the world. this type of sad can be summoned with alcohol, to some degree, but you have to sport that personality type.

Results will vary depending on certain emotion.

No but melancholy has proved to be a powerful tool for expression.

I don't think so, bye

>>3052956
it helps

This depends IMO on what the objective in your artwork even is. If you're trying to express yourself emotionally there is a wide variety of emotions available to express. You will probably go through emotional pain here and there as you're working but it may not necessarily reflect in the final pieces themselves.

Agree with this, being in touch with your emotions means inevitably feeling sadness or even anger, but without irrationally reacting to it and causing all sorts of damage.

Nope - but being introspective and/or existentialist was advantageous to the modern art movements and artists.

Dali
>wtf goes on in my head when i'm asleep? I can make money out of pretending to be loony.
Warhol
>If I make lots of reproductions of the shit people see every day that will show them how shit they are by exposing how fascinated they are by bright colors, cheap fame and repetitive patterns.
Pollock
>FUCK - I have no idea how to properly express how fucked up I am inside. SQUIGGLES.
Mondrian
>Stop making everything so fucking complicated! Straight lines, and blocks of color, yes, thats all you need. Thats nice, very neat, yes, DONT TOUCH IT.
>Bacon
AAARGHHGH Everything is pain and discomfort and shit and sex and dirty reality. Stop being so fucking stuffy darling - here have some dog shit.
>Hirst
You see this dead thing? Its dead. It was alive once, but now its not - how do you feel about that? Is it still beautiful now i've killed it? Or does it disgust you? Also you take too many pills dickhead.
>Duchamp
Fuck your idea of what art is - art is whatever you want to be art. Ignore all the previous ideas about beauty, its all about ideas and, most importantly, the first concept. Anyone can make art. Being able to paint isnt important, is it?...
>Koons
If i make things you see regularly seem huge, or gilt them or suspend them in formaldehyde, does that change how you consider them? Does that change your definition? Doe it alter your reality, or the respect you have for them?
>George Grosz and Otto Dix
Do you see how fucked up we all are? how ugly we all are? FUCK. We are bad people. We are ignorant, racist, sexist, shitheads who live in shit and thrive on self indulgence.
>The Futurists
Do everything faster! More energy, everything is fucked, we must unite! We must become more dynamic! More machine-like! One people! One State! One Art!
>Frida Kahlo
Damn im fucked up - bodys all busted up... But i still love me though. I'm still pretty awesome.
