I think what matters most in any endeavor is being *effective*, or in the case of art, being compelling.

You just have to grab people and make it stick, if only for a moment. Whether you do that thru originality, or freshness, or raw talent, or sex appeal or whatever, none of that matters. All that matters is that you hook the attention and create a positive response, one that bonds the observer to the observed via the emotional core.

Still, not too many are too great at grabbing that core with both hands.......
