A note from LeRoy Neiman on "genius" and "morality".
Description
This note from LeRoy Neiman provides an abstract rumination on the position of “genius” and “morality” in historical advancement. That said, it proves unclear if the artist is speaking of artist expression, the role of criticism in cultural production, personal experience (and the popular position of his work vis-a-vis its negative critical reception), or social developments in general. In addition, the nature of the note is unknown.
