So how would you know that artist was great if he/she was so unrecognized?
Implied in the phrase "great artist" is recognition, even if it comes
belatedly, long after the artist's time. Recognition implies awareness of
the artist's work (the giving pleasure "forever" I alluded to) and of
its putative imfluence on that of others.
