"It is exactly in this world that will be born the great social and aesthetic movements which will influence the Occidental world since the 19th century. The bourgeoisie, with its double face -- of revolutionary against aristocracy, and of conservative against socialism -- will have in the ideal of art for art's sake one of yours most cultivated positive images: of artistic and intellectual creation in its most pure form as haven against money's fury. Only when we discover that everything is for sale -- and we found this out with the advent of bourgeoisie --, we start to seriously ask ourselves about the limits of money." (Pondé)
