7. I truly love the honesty of Edvard Munch art

The thing I always look for in anyone’s paintings is honesty in whatever form it is painted in. I love fearless artists who pursue whatever it is that motivate them. Whether it is love for the subject or a depiction of their own inner demons, it is the truth about how the artist genuinely feels that compels me to study an artist’s work. I feel it is plain to see and I appreciate the human depths and the honesty of artists who are true to themselves.

The thing about honesty in art is that it always strikes a chord, a memory, a familiar feeling in the viewers, tying us all together into shared brotherhood on some level. Shared experiences, shared fears, joys, sadness, depression. It’s a vital part of that elusive ability that we call talent. The ability to reach deeply into our being.
