혹시 노벨문학상 작가, 헤르만 헤세가 화가였다는 걸 아시나요?
헤세는 그리지 못하면 쓰지도 못했을 거라고 말했어요.
글로 먹고살기 어려울 때, 그림을 팔아 그 시기를 지나갈 수 있었지요.
“나는 내 마음에서 솟아오르는 그것을 하고 싶었다.
그런데 그것이 왜 그토록 어려웠을까?”
— 헤르만 헤세
Did you know that Hermann Hesse,
the Nobel Prize-winning writer, was also a painter?
Hesse once said that if he had not been able to paint,
he would not have been able to write either.
During the difficult times when he could not make a living through writing,
he sold his paintings to get through that period.
“I wanted to do only what rose up from within my heart.
But why was that so difficult?”
— Hermann Hesse
