Questions

Many of the artistic movements we have studied have attempted to remove art from its aristocratic roots and create art that relates more to the lower social classes. Fine art has consistently participated in the struggle between high and low culture, and until the emergence of mass produced art could be considered mostly something for the wealthy few. However with the emergence of pop art and the mass production of work, has art finally become something to be consumed by everyone? Must art be mass produced to be available to all?
