very enlightening.
i can't help but wonder if real art has lost its value in a way.
but no, i know from seeing so many originals that the power of the work in it's original form far eclipses any representation of it.

this was good. i was glued to the screen.

i think both are good. the global accessibily of art is good.
but i still want to go to greece, italy, france,iran,brittain, belgium, germany, china, india, tibet and japan and stand before the work itself.

because i have pictures of the famous 'lohans' and i have stood before two of them at the metropolitan museum of art in new york. and while one is mental the other is a mystical experience. in person, the lohans were alive.

'Tis said that to copy another is the highest form of flattery. However, print reproductions do seem to take something away from the original.

I posted and "collected" this to be able to come back to it, and of course to share it. I guess, the copies often show us the way to the original, be it physically or mentally.
