An artistic endeavour comes into the world naked, unnamed, and vulnerable. Every creative effort requires the artist to wrest something from nothingness, a purposive cosmos from an apparently indifferent chaos.

  1. Is it a kind of arrogance that allows us to gainsay such a quotation?
    “Every creative effort requires the artist to wrest something from nothingness,” is a thought I have grown more and more at odds with. Every creative effort comes from the artist mining gems from the depths of his totality; from all the thoughts and experiences and dreams of his youth and old age. He has been making this ‘creative effort’ all his life.
