So there was this artist in Belgium in the early 1900s - Frans Masereel. He was a woodcut artist and would publish series of woodcuts. One was called Passionate Journey and shows scenes from a man's life: his joys, his pains, his loves, his losses. All in 165, usually disconnected, woodcuts. At the end it is not until he destroys his heart (he is shown stomping on it while lightening strikes in the background and clouds billow) that he is free to walk among the stars.
