Fine art requires the synthesis of many elements. It requires an integration of S and N, T and F. There is an internal, abstract, big picture element to artistic creation, but this must then be translated successfully into the concrete world of sensation. Fine art communicates the subjective world of F, but is often most effective when the form is structured with a reasoned container so to speak.
There is not one way to be an artist. I can't emphasize enough the fact that creativity is based on synthesis and integration of thought and ideas. The individual who is too polarized in their thought processes, whether a Sensor or iNtuitive, Thinker or Feeler, is going to run into a road block. There are examples of great artists whose foundation is abstract and philosophical, and others who are concrete, but both require some integration from the other.
Beethoven is an example of a composer who is an iNtuitive. His work is rigorously structured, abstract, philosophical, and there are famous quotes of his in which he cares little for the means by which the violinist or pianist will execute the pattern. His foundation is iNtuitive, but he does integrate some of the concrete. In his late piano sonatas (which he wrote with hearing loss), the chords are voiced to have maximum resonance on the piano.
There are other composers like Chopin and Lizst whose piano music fits the hand like a glove. They created their work at the instrument and generated their formal structures from a more concrete base.
I've worked with many individuals as students and peers in art and music, and one thing is obvious, each person has a unique way of approaching art that is based on integrating their mental and physical strengths. There is not one approach because art is about making the abstract concrete and visceral. There are many paths. The individual who can only see one path for the creative process has limited their own creativity.
