No artist has a free hand. Just as the architect cannot create something unsound, the sculptor cannot create something that moves or speaks. The musician cannot include visuals, and cannot use sounds that are outside the range of human hearing. The painter cannot use motion. I would argue that limitations are part of what creates truly great art. Specifically, transcending the limitations to create something altogether other, evoking an unexpected reaction. For example, a painting that evokes the feeling of motion is far more impressive than a short clip of an object in motion. We want things that are more than the sum of their parts.
