I wonder how we could explain talent/gift without resorting to woo-woo like reincarnation/metempyschosis (the child prodigy simply recalls lessons he took in his/her previous life)? — Agent Smith
Noble Dust already suggested that it is a product of environment and psychological predisposition. I agree. But then again, some of the stuff that is created by the most talented artists with masterful skills, you will keep room for the woo-woo explanations. They are otherworldy.
I have often entertained the idea of metempsychosis in geniuses. I don't puch much weight in speculative theories, but it is a potential explanation for why certain individuals are so much better than everyone else. — Merkwurdichliebe
Can't rule out metempsychosis now, can we? — Agent Smith
We should keep the classical rules in place for the simple fact that it produces superior artists that can transcend any genre. — Merkwurdichliebe
As for measuring universality, it would be the principles and techniques that comprise the classical school. — Merkwurdichliebe
I wonder, what are some of the key principles of modern art that differ from classical art which might lend to its superiority? — Merkwurdichliebe
My theory is that modernism diminishes the tools with which the artist has to work with, and produces an overall inferior quality of artwork. — Merkwurdichliebe

This picture was generated by artificial intelligence and won a fine art competition — T Clark
He told 9News that he made 900 iterations of the art before the piece he eventually submitted, edited it on Photoshop, and spent 80 hours on the art.
Personally I’m done trying to “define art”. My only interest is in whether a piece stirs something in me, makes me think differently, or makes me feel an emotion that i don’t feel every day. This piece did none of those things. — Noble Dust
So, by what definition is this art? — T Clark
As Noble Dust explained previously, it is necessary to makes us feel an emotion that we don't usually feel. — javi2541997
I'm retiring to my aesthetic cave — Noble Dust
