Conversely, deliberately doing something badly does not, of course, automatically make it a brilliant work. A lack of technique is no more a talent than mastery of it.
The real issue lies elsewhere: technique must serve an artistic necessity.
This is particularly evident in cinema. One may have an exceptional camera, magnificent colour grading, perfectly stabilised shots and flawless special effects. If the film lacks any artistic vision, all of this becomes merely a technological showcase.
Conversely, a shaky camera, imperfect lighting or rough editing can be exactly the right choices when they fit the world the director wishes to create.
That is why technique is secondary.
Not because it is useless, but because it comes after the essential: the vision.
An artist is not merely someone who knows how to create something beautiful. It is someone who ultimately shows us something we might not have seen without them.
And that is something no technical manual can fully teach.
