I agree completely that from great pain and ‘poverty’ often times spring the best art!

Hi Nelson,

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. I think on this occasion we may have to agree to disagree about a few things … Tolstoy, for example, was a rich and privileged aristocrat.

I’m all for magic and dreaming, but most of the geniuses I’ve come across also seem to work very hard — I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

however we can’t deny that poverty ( not necessarily financial poverty ) has given us some of the greatest works of arts ( check tolstoi , dostoievski , and others , I don’t know art but I’m sure there are some great painters that had various issues as well ) .

I’m still a dreamer … I still believe that great works of art come at a flash of pure genius . and pain , of various type , seems to be , in most cases , a must .

but I also split this area in two parts : good and great . great requires genius … good requires discipline , hard work and such .
