"やましい良心は告白を必要とする 芸術作品は告白である"

Simplified Meaning:

When someone feels guilty, they often need to tell others about what they did wrong to feel better. It's similar to how art works. When an artist creates a painting, a song, or a poem, they are sharing their deep feelings and thoughts with the world. For example, if you lied to a friend, you might feel bad until you tell them the truth. Just like that, an artist might feel sad or happy and express those emotions through their creations. Imagine famous paintings like "Starry Night" by Van Gogh. Van Gogh was struggling with many emotions, and his painting shows what he was feeling inside. By putting his pain, confusion, and hope onto the canvas, he was confessing, or sharing, his inner life with everyone who sees the painting. So, if you ever feel bad about something, it's good to talk about it or express it in some way, maybe through writing, drawing, or music. It helps you feel lighter and more honest with yourself and others. Expressing your feelings through art can be a powerful way to deal with guilt and other strong emotions.
