In capitalist countries, about 100 years ago the artistic community decided it had had enough of the filthy commoners and decided to exclude them from art. Permanently. Today, it’s not getting better, it’s getting worse.

Art simply isn’t a part of anyone’s lives any more. Unless you’re well-off and have pretty much run out of things to buy. Then you fill that hole in your life with art buying and people kissing your ass because you’re a “patron of the arts”.
