Are there any Philosophers of Art which have examined the idea of the starving or suffering artist?

After reading Antic Hay by Aldous Huxley, this quote stick out to me : "Perhaps it is good for one to suffer. Can an artist do anything if he's happy? Would he ever want to do anything? What is art, after all, but a protest against the horrible inclemency of life?"
