it's not just despair - it's conflict.
conflict inspires creativity of all kinds ...
when people feel joy they are too busy enjoying the feeling to sit down and try to artistically express it ..
but when they are feeling anger, sadness, conflict, - they desire change - and expressing those feelings artistically is a step closer to making the change ..
In the past that was often the only way they could protest - through art. Speaking out could get your head removed.
thats my take on it anyway ..
