The article is about an art performance made by the English artist called himself "Bansky"realized in South Bronx (United States). The action of arts puts a young bootblack polishing the big red boot of a giant Ronald McDonald "statue".
But the article center is the actual condition of some contemporany artist like Bansky that are serving a double active membership. Jones think that Bansky is an a political artist and at the same time he participated in the art market thus his art becomes less subversive. Jones take another art action for explain his point of view: Bansky sold some of his work of art to some tourists in a low price but his works as a street artist in that moment increases in value
For all this, Jonathan Jones qualifies the Bansky's work as naive yet the impact that he cause in his fans, this situation is as a comercial speculation. The "mock" of Bansky is very small compared with the internal sitation of United States. It in its own structure United States is a satire so the work of Bansky is overshadowed, an foreigner that come to show us the bad things of a country from inside of it is not convincing for Jones.
