>Striving for holistic perfection in art is foolish
Is it? The art itself is foolish then. 
You strive for perfection and get the best that you can make. 
You think someone like Michelangelo was saying "yeah, that's good enough"?
You induce soul into your art through craftsmanship. 
To create something exceptional striving for perfection is really the only way.
