为什么一些伟大的艺术家都是“怪人”？

E. M. Forster在《Art for art’s sake》中说：Estimable is mateyness, and the man who achieves it gives many a pleasant little drink to himself and to others. But it has no traceable connection with the creative impulse, and probably acts as an inhibition on it. …and particularly the words "power of invention", are the Bohemian's passport. …

大意说：艺术家最重要的是创造力，你不能对具有超出常人创造力的艺术家要求太高，比如让他们平易近人之类，因为这跟创造力无关，或许还会抑制创造力。放荡不羁是艺术家的通行证。…
