This is Antonin Artaud, French playwright and poet
And he was about as happy as he looked. Choice quotes:
“No one has ever written, painted, sculpted, modeled, built, or invented except literally to get out of hell.”
“Destroy yourselves, you who are desperate, and you who are tortured in body and soul, abandon all hope. There is no more solace for you in this world. The world lives off your rotting flesh.”
