What is it about art anyway that we give it so much importance? Artists are respected by the poor because what they do is an honest way to get out of the slum. Using ones sheer self as the medium. The money earned proof pure and simple of the value of that individual, the artist. The picture a mothers son does in jail hangs on her wall as proof that beauty is possible in the most wretched, and this is a much different idea than the fancier notion that all art is a scam and a rip off, but you could never explain to someone who uses Gods gift to enslave that you used Gods gift to be free.
