I’m not sure that effort alone is a good enough metric. Some great art actually does just kinda flow out sometimes, to the point where artists often talk about feeling like they’re just a channel that the art flows out of.
There’s great art that’s been born in 30 minutes as a silly afterthought of the artist, and also great art that took the artist’s entire life.
I would love to see how many hours of practice and repetition each artist had put in, before the moment they experienced that flowing for the first time.
