Though, the majority of the text was interesting, I didn't find it too relative to my subject. The final page of the extract however, did connect more with me and commented on mass consumption and consumerism.
On page 14, Leader compares the act of art to being almost sacred in itself, a delicate craft or precious talent. But this idea of art is juxtaposed with the outcome or product of art, with its mass production, goods-focused and business minded organisations. It is an oxymoron, an antithesis. It explains and exploits the negative aspects, how art can be made into a product purely to feed wealth and greed.
