I came across this passage a few months back in a book.  I found it interesting, as it reminds me a bit of where photography is now as well, especially as it relate to the world of art.

“It seems plain that the art that speaks most clearly, explicitly, directly, and passionately from its place of origin will remain the longest understood.”
