Art as Autobiography

"All artwork is autobiographical" (Stewart, 284). I found this to be a very interesting statement, probably becomes it ring true to me. Many forms of art, especially postmodern art, can seem to have little to do with the artist, or with humanity at all. But it still seems applicable, since autobiography means "a record of one's own life". Regardless of the work they do, an artist is saying something about themselves, because something about their life, their personality, drove them to make that piece.
