The artist chooses, and afterwards the only choice is forward.
This is transcendence: to rise beyond circumstance and obstacle, ridicule and contempt.
And this is expression, as opposed to pretension, which is defined by attachment. Attachment to the self, to recognition, and to the lesser things, wealth and personal power. These have no significance beyond themselves.
The way of the artist is elevation. Above, beyond.
