so creativity is the ability to imagine outside of what people are used to dreaming about.  Talent is the ability to use your practiced skills to create something captivating, something that an audience enjoys.  These two crutial elements of art have merged into a true artistic piece of work for centuries, displaying an attractive piece that can display meaning.  Well today this is so rare it hurts me.  I see so much potential in both elements, but I do not see artists trying to achieve a balance enough.  Beauty without meaning feels fake, and meaning without any care to perfect its meaning seems like it isn't important enough to truly express.  Not everyone is born skillful and analytical, but every artist has the responsibility to try to use their abilities to have an impact on society.  Therefore I believe artists should try to balance creativity and talent.
