Quote by Friedrich von Schiller

No doubt the artist is the child of his time; but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.

No doubt the artist is the child of his time; but woe to him

Summary

This quote implies that while an artist is undoubtedly influenced by the cultural and societal context they exist in, it would be detrimental for them to solely conform to the beliefs or trends of their time. Being solely a disciple or favorite of their era limits the artist's ability to think critically and independently, stifling their creativity and originality. The quote suggests that true artistic expression requires a certain degree of rebellion, innovation, and the ability to challenge prevailing norms.
