People who say that they can spout gibberish and call themselves clever writers have no idea what they're talking about. It takes someone who REALLY knows his or her language to be able to write "sensical nonsense".

Reminds me of the saying, "You have to know the rules before you can break them." Also, some of the most influential rock musicians were classically trained. It takes having a mastery of something to know how to brilliantly play with it and create something meaningful. This applies to writing, music, art, etc.

Just so. Applies to art of pretty much any variety. One thing people don't seem to realize about artists like Picasso: He could paint you a very nice impressionist piece if he felt like it, or he could paint you a stunning neoclassical piece. The man KNEW his art, knew the history and the techniques, knew the ins and outs, knew the various movements and saw where things were headed and what was coming next. And so did others, like Warhol, Basquiat, Lichtenstein, and even Keith Haring (seriously, have you ever seen his Andy Mouse series, where he deconstructs Andy Warhol as Mickey Mouse while at the same time paying homage to his Warhol, who was one of his biggest idols and influences?)

Some very few people do great things purely by accident, but for most, it's through sheer hard work, effort, and studious attention to detail. The best of them make it look astonishingly easy while doing it.
