In order create an artwork that causes emotion, I believe, one must feel the emotion strongly enough to depict it. You can for the most part, tell when an artwork was done half-heartedly because it fails miserably at it's attempt to make you feel something.
However, one thing I have always noticed with literature particularly is that most great literature stems from conflict, depression, tragedy.
We as humans, are drawn to it. It is in our nature.
Do you believe that artwork that depicts these things is most effective? Is this perhaps why there is so much of it? Do you think art can exist without tragedy?
