Have heroes
All artists have heroes: other artists whose work they admire and emulate.
Extracted verbatim from the manuscript
All artists have heroes: other artists whose work they admire and emulate.
Most performing artists learn to play/sing/dance/act like their heroes – and then they absorb this into their own unique style.
It’s very hard to become brilliant in a vacuum: a violinist who is taught to play without ever hearing the great violinists who have gone before them has nothing to borrow from, nothing to reveal to them what the instrument is capable of.
Great artists seek out their great predecessors.
