    True. Wonderful point made here.

    But cultures work as a whole. If Art stands forlorn it may just well be for the sake of preserving some kind of knowledge that mass culture would simply destroy in a "medium user" view. I do not see that "elitism" as a bad thing, because it also reflects the effort which some people still make to escape massification (like the humanists tried to escape the mass-culture induced on people by the Church: that is also an heritage that we cannot afford to lose again).
