Vladimir Vysotsky. (№ 294441)

Man must be endowed with imagination what to do. It is, of course, the Creator, and in that case, if something rhymes or writes based on facts. Realism of this kind was and is. But I'm more of the swift, you know? I'm more for Bulgakov, for Gogol. Life experience?.. But imagine what it was really such a huge life experience from twenty-six Lermontov? Importantly - their vision of the world.
Another question, is it possible to create works of art, possessing a heightened sensitivity and receptivity, but not having life experience? You can but it is better to have... a little bit. The art of the present without suffering there. And the man who has not suffered - not necessarily that he was harassed or shot him, tortured him, took the relatives and so forth - such a person cannot create. But if he's in the shower, even without external influences, felt the suffering of the people, for the family, all for the situation - that's a lot. This creates a life experience. And suffer can even very young people. Very much.
