Implausible though it may sound, there are few greater patrons of the Arts than the Hutts; it is said that their slime coats every masterpiece. Yet it can also be said that Hutts care little for any of the qualities of Art that others hold dear.

Appreciation of the sublime is contrary to Hutt nature and is considered the emotional instinct of lesser beings. Hutts value Art for one reason and one reason alone: prestige. To be powerful, you must show that you are powerful. You must possess the very things others desire.
