Unit 2: Only Artists

When talking about art and paintings, it is impossible not to wonder about the artist’s perception of life and how they reflect it in their works. When the artist’s work is hard to understand, the public would always look the artist’s life, but when they cannot understand it either, the public would classified the artist as a crazy, misplaced person. What people does not know is that artists have a greater ability to feel or perhaps they are only more susceptible than the rest. For this reason, many and almost all kinds of artists, mostly painters, are accused to suffer of mental illnesses. No matter what kind of personal issues they go through their lifetime, people think that they always finish crazy, hurt, weird and poor. Enigmatic suitors of these characteristics are Dali, Van Gogh, Caravaggio, Frida Kahlo, Modigliani, Da Vinci, Munch and the list can go on. So, I believe there are not suicide, crazy or weird artists, but susceptible and misunderstood normal people with a greater capacity for love and hate.
