"An artist is somebody who enters into competition with God"

This quote by Patti Smith speaks with the innovative power of the artist. By entering into competitors with God, the artist is taking on the duty of a maker, trying to produce something that is as gorgeous and significant as the jobs of God. This quote talks to the power of the artist to develop something that is distinct as well as purposeful, something that can stand alongside the works of God. It also speaks with the courage of the musician, who agrees to handle the obstacle of creating something that is as effective and also purposeful as the jobs of God. The musician is taking on a challenging job, yet one that is inevitably satisfying and also satisfying. By participating in competitors with God, the artist is handling a challenge that can bring about magnum opus of art and a sense of achievement.
