HIGH QUALITY CREATIVITY, PART 3
How to Trust the Magic in Your Creative World.
When you know it’s great, don’t stop believing.
There is a huge difference between creating art and becoming an immortal.
In 1482, the Duke of Milan commissioned Leonardo da Vinci to create the largest equestrian statue in the world.
By November 1493, Leonard displayed a full-size clay model of the horse and he experienced the Medieval equivalent of going viral.
Unfortunately, the bronze was needed to fight a war, and the clay model was eventually destroyed.
Da Vinci, went on to be considered one of the greatest painters of all time and immortalized as a symbol of curiosity, creativity, and genius.
But this is not Leonardo’s story. This is a story for every artist and writer who creates out of passion, regardless of their stature or compensation.
