Time: The Forgotten Dimension of Art
Reply to Eray Sariot
Hi Eray

Not sure I follow. How does "originating a time of its own" allow a work to transcend time?

I can imagine one could argue that a work generates its own sense of time, but that's something that happens within the work - much as it might generate its own sense of place (e.g. Balzac, Dickens), or its sense of how human psychology operates (e.g. Shakespeare vs Richardson etc), etc. 

But how does the particular sense of time one experiences within a work explain its capacity (if it has one) to transcend - escape - historical time?
