Let's say that you have a flower and you want to communicate the idea of that flower to someone else. The most obvious way would be to take that flower and present it to them for study - concept transferred, job completed.
If only.
Because we all perceive and process things differently (and are so far incapable of telepathically transmitting ideas directly) the only way to successfully communicate the same idea is by tweaking its actual physical representation so that the concepts match. This process of 'tweaking' is - in effect - what we call art, and it only manifests when there exists a need for it (otherwise known as the presence of limitations.)
That is the real reason why great art and limitations go hand-in-hand. Because, without limitations, art doesn't exist.
