The latest from Mr. Di Maggio

This is the latest wheatpaste by Mr. Di Maggio in Milan. I think it makes a powerful statement about art. Right now, the public seems like they want to burn the banking community at the stake, while the government seems to see bankers as the most important component of society: they raise the GDP after all (in good years). On the other hand, artists generally aren’t monetarily rewarded by society for adding to an area’s culture. When you get down to it though, who is more valuable? Maybe we should move our tax dollars from bailouts to more art classes and subsidies for artists…
