Atenção
Atenção. Eu também acredito que a arte é o último refúgio dos ignorantes. É por isso que escolhi ser artista.

What is art? What is science?
Some extreme views....
"Poetry is philosophical ... for it tends to express the universal. By the universal I mean ... according to the law of probability or necessity."
--Aristotle, from "Poetics"
As you can see, Aristotle thought art was pretty much equated with the practices of what we now call science.
Here is an opposite view:
"The vocabulary of science is merely one among others. It is not Nature's Own Vocabulary. The artist's awareness that he is making rather than finding puts him one up on the scientist."
--The point of view of textualist literary theorists, according to contemporary pragmatist philosopher Richard Rorty, from "Textualism and Idealism"
"An intellect that at any given moment knew all the forces that animate Nature and the mutual positions of the beings that comprise it ... could condense into a single formula the movement of the greatest bodies of the universe and that of the lightest atom: for such an intellect nothing could be uncertain; and the future just like the past would be present before our eyes."
--French astronomer and mathematician Pierre Simon Laplace (1749-1827), from Philosophical Essay on Probabilities.
The "key"?!
Maybe--->
"If you have the technical knowledge then free your inner creativity; if you’re an artist, learn the science of concrete."

Indeed, I can tell you that I’ve been following that same directive for some time now. I consider that it might be the correct one. (referring to your last sentence)
