Painting: Flowers Market - But Bouquets Are Expensive - Fakes will Do: Pondering Inflationary Times
You look at this painting and you know right away it's a sharp critique of the Fed's Chairman, who long ago dared to dismiss inflation "as temporary." (!) I have a fondness for wildflowers, though I will occasionally, if regrettably, purchase, or indulge in, roses and tulips. But like everything else, their prices have skyrocketed.

Let them live, the flowers. Disclaimer: This critique of the Fed encompasses philosophical, economic, aesthetic, and most other senses (deemed universal), and should be interpreted as such - gladly and unapologetically. No wonder the price of this painting may vary...
