- Edgard Varese

About this Quote

This quote by Edgard Varese suggests that artists are not truly ahead of their time due to the fact that they develop and express suggestions that are already present on the planet, waiting for someone to articulate them. Nevertheless, the majority of people are unable to fully comprehend or appreciate these suggestions up until much later on, so artists might show up in advance of their time in comparison to the general public.
