I thought art was supposed to make you feel uncomfortable sometimes if done right. That's what i was taught/learned was what made art valuable because it forces/compells an emotional response.
In the case of Loss it may have been a jarring departure in style but it was also the dudes lived experience and he chose to externalize it, which is generally supposed to be healthy and a way to heal.
But dudes weren't/aren't ever rewarded for it if they don't also please others while doing it, only get beaten down and made to feel shame.
Stunning lack of empathy to care more about the fictional world created by the actual real human being who created it
