Object Description
Printed text reads: "The myth that is central to the ideology of modernism is one that posits the basic centrality of the artist's confrontational posture. The creative role is understood as being an 'open' and spiritualized one - conceived in clear polarity to those other 'closed' and material roles that are defined through either the crass ethic of mercantile commercialism or the supposedly dehumanizing edifice of industrial technology."
