"Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better."-- Andre Gide

The magic of inspiration is what charms any work of art.  This is what I think Andre means when he talks about the "collaboration between God and the artist".  It's the feeling that your hands, heart, and mind are following an inclination that just opened up for you, that the ideas flowing from you are flowing THROUGH you and the resulting the message your art is conveying needs to be as pure and unsullied as possible.  In short, the ego takes a back seat, inspiration leads the way, and art is the result.
