Discussion If you could talk to your favorite deceased artist, who would it be and what would you say?

[Dreaming In Aconite]

Here's a fun, corny thought:

If and when any of you die, what favorite artist (they must be currently deceased to count.) would you really want to talk to forever if you could?

I'll start: Jewish Philosopher, Hannah Arendt.

She was an activist and german-jewish refugee active in college protests of the 60's. I just think she'd be neat to talk to about normal things. I wouldn't ask her anything extravagent, I just think her as a person is more interesting than she is as a anarchist.

How about the rest of you guys?

Christina Grimmie... I actually don't know her much, but I find it so sad that she died on the hands of her own so proclaimed "fan". She had so much potential ahead of her, she had such an angelic voice, and she just seemed positive all the time. I remember crying hard about it when I first heard the news..

Oh my God I haven't heard that name in years! She was very talented. I used to think it was stupid to cry over celebrity deaths but hers, Kevin Conroy and most recently and relevently, Anthony Bourdain had really struck a raw cord in me.

What I learned from that, was the fact that just because you have everything that doesn't mean life is more meaningful.

She's a great niche scene queen find! Gone too soon.

DMX. You're the best to ever do it and I wish I was dead like you.

Van Gogh. I want to know how such beautiful art came from such a sad, tortured mind.

Franz Kafka, I would just like to talk, about anything, even if he just wants to tell a joke

Oh that's a good one. He's one of my all time favorite literary figures and sufferers.

Oh true! Forgot to actually answer that my bad! I actually really wanted to ask her how's the afterlife and whether it was a painful death for her...

Honestly 3 first Robin Williiams and Secondly Amanda Todd and Slena the Mexican singer.

Im not sire what I would say tho

Definitely robin Williams I would ask him what did the world do to you to make you so sad. Then bob Marley I'd tell him to pass the j. Then id pass it to jerry Garcia and get him to jam for me.

 

[doomedbynarrative]

Oh man there's so many I'd love to talk to.

As far as visual artists:
Vincent Van Gogh - I just need to give that man a hug.
Michaelangelo because I'm fascinated by his entire creative process.
Frida Kahlo - I would also love to give her a hug.

As far as music artists:
Chester Bennington so I can also give him a hug.
Beethoven. I hear he was grumpy as hell but I'd love to know his secret for enduring as long as he did.
Christina Grimmie like someone else said.

This only scratches the surface lol

terry pratchett. i dont know what i'd say to him besides telling him how much i love his books and wanting to talk about that. i think any conversation with him would be nice.

Chris Reccardi. I have so many questions I wish I could ask him about his life and how he made his cartoons, paintings and music.
