Question:

Do all artists need muses to produce?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

When we light a fire, we need something to ignite the fuel. When we create art, we need inspiration. Inspiration personified is the muse and that is not so much a person as it is an experience that causes reaction. The muse is just a spark, the real fuel come from within the artist.
