"The creation of Aboriginal art for an international market is poignantly paradigmatic of the modernist commodification of (fine) art in a very specific sense: as the abstraction and extraction--the reification--of particular visual or optical properties of indigenous cultural practices. The effect is to make such abstractions consonant with late modernist (Western) artistic formalism which has its roots in Christian theories of images."
