Transportable canvas as a support for painting was invented in the Renaissance. For Ezra Pound it represented the beginning of capitalism and the democratization of the art world. Paintings that were usually connected to architecture and painted on walls became, with canvas, easy to transport and relocate. In this way they were easy to deal and do business with.
