Smarter than...

If you are an artist, early in your career you are smarter than your art. It is still gaining skill and trying to figure out how to use its language and what to say.

Then you come to a point where you and your art compete with one another for who's the smartest. Sometimes you tell it what to do; sometimes it tells you what to do.

But in your maturity, your art is always smarter than it. It always digs deeper for meaning. It tells you and its audience things you never knew you knew.
