Very nice commentary. Frida Kaloe's life was driven by pain due to her bizarre and famous accident on a Mexico City streetcar. I cut her a lot of slack for this. Good, bad or ugly her art is passion and pain put onto canvas.

Art can come from a balanced and contemplative place. The Japanese, Chinese specialize in this. None of the master artists (treasures) of Japan are kooks. Great art can come from a mad/crazy/eccentric place. The West has many of these types.
