Great artists don’t study art history to figure out what art to create.
Great founders don’t analyze the market to figure out what product to build.
Naval Ravikanttwitter.comI’m not sure this person has ever taken an art class. Art relies on the ability to look at something and go “I want to make that.” It is impossible to live in a world where no one consumes art of a great artist - everything from a price sticker to the Sistine Chapel and from a stick figure drawn by a child who looks at their parents all the way to a decorated wax figurine of a president, are all forms of great art we can learn from. You must learn how to do techniques, which are also taught from great artists, but the point of art is that you are inspired to make something and inspiration has to come from something.
"I was waiting for something extraordinary to happen, but as the years wasted on, nothing ever did unless I caused it.”
