It is interesting to speculate about how many artists go unappreciated during their lives, and even afterwards. They're probably the same as most great individuals who were simply ahead of their time and are only understood by later generations if at all.

But its seems like a lot of them lived for the art, rather than for the recognition... Isn't that enough?
