By making portable abstractions, the middle class artist plays right into the hands of [[strikethrough]] the [[/strikethrough]]mercantilist [[strikethrough]] control [[/strikethrough]]domination.

Portable abstract art is a non-figurative representation reduced to a narrow exchange. [[strikethrough]] [[? ?]][[/strikethrough]] The portrait of a being as a [[strikethrough]] presdient [[/strikethrough]] president on money together with acane symbols and signs is for the many.

Mysteries replace precious metals as a value standard.
