Just stumbled onto your website. Two writers to add to your list (and please correct my spelling) are playwright August Strindberg, who was a fine and serious painter, and novelist Hermann Hesse, who produced excellent watercolors. There is a point at which what is made has such merit that it moves beyond being a pasttime and becomes a second creative achievement.
The drawings of Victor Hugo are really impressive. What I have heard of the compositions for piano by philosopher Frederick Nietzsche are not; they are technically correct, but seem no more than student compositions. But they are much too complex to be called a hobby of his.
The question is, how much available time and enabling money is needed for writers (or anyone) to pursue these expressive pursuits?

An interesting article, thank you for sharing. However, I must point out that the dates for Victor Hugo are wrong. He was born in 1802 and died in 1885.
