Summary

This quote suggests that art becomes valuable and meaningful when it emerges as a result of necessity. When an artist creates art out of a deep need or compulsion, it holds more significance and authenticity. It implies that great art is not driven by superficial or selfish motives, but by a genuine need to express something essential. According to this perspective, art devoid of such necessity may lack the potency and timeless appeal that comes from tapping into the core human experience.
