In my humble opinion, mass market "art" is just that. It's the visual equivalent of cotton candy or a Big Mac and shouldn't be compared to a meal at a five-star restaurant. Far more people like and can afford a Big Mac than the exquisite and exotic foods at the best restaurants. That's just how the world is.
Michele, I agree with you. The real imbalance comes when people are paying more than $2K for a Big Mac. It does hurt us as artists as our credibility can be somewhat skewed in the wrong direction.
