Card: 7 of Air Turning Japanese The Vapors
Answer: Yes. However, as The Vapors prove, in order to be repellent it is also necessary for some part of an artist's work to be vapid. In order to be greatly repellent, it is necessary for an artist's work to get under one's skin, as reflected in the lyric:
I want a doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside
Of course, to be an artist at all means constantly re-orienting yourself.
