Abstract
In the early twentieth century, harmony, the sacred, and even time were seen as impediments to artistic freedom, though for the ancients, harmony was the integrating force of the cosmos.

He warns that capitalism, subsuming sacral power, reduces art either to spectacle or to object for consumption.
