    Art is an expression of not only what we see of the physical world, but also of what we imagine it to be.  Before the artist lays a brush to canvas, the poet puts pen to paper, or a scientist formulates an hypothesis, the elements of that work may have been examined many times over in the mind. 


  We honor those that brought understanding and clarity to a subject.  We should also accept that there were many others that wrestled with the same information and came away with nothing.  New ideas always battle with accepted constructs and the quest for knowledge is sometimes a vexing and fruitless one.
