Summary

This quote suggests that great art is not solely the creation of the artist, but rather a collaborative effort between the artist and a higher power, often referred to as God. It implies that when artists allow themselves to be guided by divine inspiration and minimize their own interference or ego-driven creativity, the outcome is often more profound. This statement encourages artists to let go of control, embrace a sense of surrender, and trust in a higher source of artistic guidance.
