Quote #7
Frederick saw approaching a column of individuals with oddly-shaped hats and long beards. At its head, beating a drum, walked a negro who had formerly been an artist's model; and the man who bore the banner, on which this inscription floated in the wind, "Artist-Painters," was no other than Pellerin. (2.14.70)
Once the revolution is underway, Pellerin starts to fight for the political rights of artists. He has good intentions, but he's not, um, super successful? Is it his strategy that's the problem, or is it just that no one's into public art.
Quote #8

Martinon thinks artists should actually make a decent wage. And wouldn't you know? This idea would still be considered radical today. What do you think?
