serendipity and oeuvres


Arts,sciences,music ..how they originated.Why some some people see and feel something distinct and drawing in things which look quite obvious to others. They end up devoting their life for learning it,pracising,even understanding it.They end up becoming maestros,artists ,scientists and similar beings.Incredible many even end their life for its sake earning no recognition at all.
Looking unobvious among obvious things ,i believe ,what is called creativity.But is creativity inborn or experience and learning makes people creative.Whether one who sees nudes in the tree becomes an painter or a painter sees nudes in the trees.(the scetch alongside is by me).A difficult to answer.It is known as the nature -nurture
debate in Psychology.
I dont know whether it happens to other but it often happens to me.I find the debut book by an upcoming writer good and tastefull but when the books he writes afterwards has something missing that i feel makes them less or fully untasteful.Is the originality or creativity in the writing style fades when one gains experience or its just opposite ,practise makes man perfect.
Why inventors or creators are mostly apples of public eyes rather than those who make those things workable.Putting it another way why scientists who develop theories and spent their life finding relations dont catch people eyes than those who creat things like dishwashers,lifts etc using those theories.
It is possible be that we get used to them so feel bored,but then there are some ,whom we never leave reading, watching listening.Beethoven,picasso,leonardo de vinci,Clint Eastwood,Agatha Christie,Jefery Archer,Paulo Coelho,Khaleed Hosseni to name a few internationally and Satyajeet Ray,Lata,R.K.Narayan,Raja Ravi Verma to name some nationally(Personal choice).
So whether serendipity/creativity is the thing that provides taste to something or long experience and knowledge is what that makes oeuvres enjoyable.Being selfish i took only the perspective of the connoisseurs (i am not even that too) not the artists themselves.Artists also may have there own view.
