The boy does not have a safe artistica participation because the interest is to make single money and to distribute the budget to a group very closed of white man, entonce the art undergo the development, the Greek in their pesupuesto for the arts were the right slave inside del to the arts Era a pride who enslaved n was a great painter for its master, today a Latin to be a good painter is an insult for the white man of Oregon,es the reason that Oregon parace a ghost city.
