“When one reads the biographies of great artists, musicians, and poets, one senses the tragedy with which art is frequently imbued. What causes these extraordinarily gifted men and women to abuse themselves, to judge themselves so harshly, to so totally pour themselves into their art? Perhaps it’s when art becomes a “god,” when one tries to extract perfect and unconditional beauty from imperfect and conditioned minds and forms.”
