Towards the end of Michelangelo;s life he was found one day to be tossing old sketches into the fire. He knew that he was going to be remembered into posterity and he didn't want work that he thought wasn't quite up to par.
What's annoying is that his below average pieces are still mind blowing and we all could have learned so much from those works. Sometimes when a painting is ''too good' it's hard to comprehend how the artist did it. If you take a painting that isn't mind blowing is easier to understand how it's done. And replicate the idea if need be.
