Why Anonymity is More Artistically Rewarding than Fame
“Obscurity rids the mind of the irk of envy and spite; [it] sets running in the veins the free waters of generosity and magnanimity; and allows giving and taking without thanks offered or praise given.” Read on for Virginia Woolf’s reflections on the power of creating art anonymously. { read more }
