Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that in today's society, the artist is often overlooked and underappreciated. Instead of being seen solely as a creator of beauty or entertainer, the artist is portrayed here as a researcher â€“ someone who delves deep into the world, questions societal norms, investigates different perspectives, and examines various concepts. The speaker identifies with this notion, suggesting that they view themselves as an artist who explores and uncovers new understandings and truths, rather than just a creator of art for art's sake.

That is why they insist upon their continuity -- their links with their dead and the unborn.
