"The sadness will last forever"
Every once in a while I think we need little reminders why most of the people we consider historically 'great' are worthy of our admiration.
This guy was really something else!
He produced some of the best and most unique work I think the world will ever see, and yet died relatively unknown, poor, depressed, and was even considered by many to be mentally ill.
And yet, all you can see in the work in life. Even the monotonous pieces bleed positive energy; energy I wouldn't quite call happiness, but more a celebration of existence and feeling in a way hardly any other artist has been, or will ever be capable of. I find it hard to believe that even non art-appreciators could miss this special feeling that his works convey.
It's something to aspire to for real.
Anyway, check out his pieces and skim through his bio when you get the chance. You def won't regret. He's dope!
