It seems to me that would mean that an uncharismatic artist, regardless
of his talent, would be incapable of producing artwork that could move
people. But how many times have we seen in fiction, and even real life,
cases of artists who produce greatly moving works yet as soon as you
interact with them you discover they're boorish, unfriendly, unlikable
cads?
