There is necessarily a correlation between talent, effort and success, because you need at least one of the two parameters to succeed. And the third parameter that will be decisive is luck, but you need a pillar to allow luck to serve a purpose. The pillar is work, done with talent, effort or both. I agree that many artists who are very talented or who put in a lot of work may be less recognized than others. But in general, a great majority of artists, before having the luck, had the talent and the effort, it should not be denied. The only thing that really separates these artists from other talented artists is luck. So I would say that success is the result of a mixture of these 3 main ingredients: effort, talent and luck.
