I agree with Fledz. In fact, I think the notion of the tortured artist is in itself trite and shallow.
Don't get me wrong; familiarity with desperation, angst, longing, depression, misery - these are all components that lend themselves well to the artist and are so transposed into his or her art. But one does not have to be in this unhappy place to make excellent art. In fact, I would argue instead that one can be quite content and comfortable with themselves, and that art is regressive therapy into such horizons, equally as important as hope and optimism and happiness.
All facets are vital to the coalescence of the imperfect result, as art in the making is a reflection of life; Never undone is the making nor unmade is what's done; each life a refraction of that likewise undone gestalt.
Also, red wine.

It's completely trite and shallow. However, to merely call it that is also just another iteration of our society's love of irony, e.g. "Oh, look at me, my soul is so black; I'm so tortured, I'm going to go make art." In a way, it's come back around. People love to roll their eyes at the trope of the depressing artist, now it's legitimate to roll one's eyes at the eye rollers

Agree; I would argue that the best art comes from people who have seen both sides of the equation.
However, if I had to choose, I'd go with myopicly depressing art over colorful unicorns any day
