I was thinking about some 80s music, as one does, and was suddenly struck by the need to make a poll for one specific demographic I belong to: people born in the 1980s.
*Obviously I can't enforce this, but no, people born in late 1979 or early 1990 don't count as 80s babies for this poll, even if it was 1980/1989 somewhere in the world at the time, just not where you were born.

Some of Van Gogh’s best work was done during a period of his life that he spent in a hospital being treated for his mental health problems. I could be wrong but I think Starry Night was among those.
This is consistently the case. Creators tend to do their best work when they are in a healthy place and receiving proper treatment and not being self destructive in their efforts to cope. Go figure.
All our experiences, good and bad, inform what we create, but suffering is not the price of great art. Suffering is what prevents artists from completing great art.

alancummingreally I wore this suit to the Met gala centuries ago in protest at being told to shut up and keep out of politics during the Iraq war, but I think today its message is even more prescient and vital.
The quote is by the great Audre Lord and the suit was designed by Stephen Cirona.
