The art of suffering

I've read about this Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and planned to watch the movie Frida starring Salma Hayek (2002). The artist's real life was so dramatic that I didn't expect any film studio to do an equivalent version of a "reel life". And I guess I am right. Yet at least the film, with its stunning visions and acting, could shorten time for one enthusiast to look into someone's life - a recommended way for all lazybones.

Love many lines from the films. There are truthful statements of life, pains, marriages, and relations. One must watch to see if I am exaggerating here.

At the end of the film, I have two questions;

1) If suffering creates better artworks? Gee....I don't know much about art but I've got to find out and see some artists whose works are driven by happiness.

2) So what is more painful between physical and emotional?

The movie may suggest it as Frida says: "I had two big accidents in my life Diego, the trolley and you... You are by far the worse." But both pains from her husband and physical conditions contribute to her excellent works.

As for us, non-artists, what is more suffering between a bad company or an aling health?

I don't know but I guess Frida had been suffering throughout her life and that was shy she wrote: "I hope the exit is joyful and I hope never to return"- so sad, isn't it?
