Summary

This quote suggests that art fundamentally requires two things: faith and freedom. It emphasizes that artists should not conform to societal expectations or seek approval from others, but instead embrace their creative instincts with conviction. Faith, in this context, implies a deep belief in one's artistic vision and the courage to pursue it without compromise. Furthermore, freedom refers to the liberation from external constraints or expectations that might suppress authentic expression. Together, faith and freedom are seen as essential ingredients for true artistic expression and the creation of meaningful and impactful art.
