Art works are defined by the artist and the audience, which leaves much room for error and criticism by them. Messages can come across in different ways also depending on the way it is displayed and conveyed through artists and artworks. My opinions varied for the fact that I like artworks but there is no reason for them to last other than money and uniqueness. Anyone can put pen on paper but also no one can create a mona lisa out of the blue. People have different opinions on things as well which fall between the points saying that artworks and creations like the mona lisa or anything along those lines should really last for as long as they need to. Nature has to take its toll on things including paintings and artworks and at some point people have to let go of these artificial objects and move on to newer things.
Does a great book live on? Does a great movie stay the greatest of all time? No. Something better always comes along to replace it and it makes things more interesting. If there was no money involvement in the matter I don't doubt for one second that people would be willing to throw away the Mona Lisa and replace it with something from Johnny Romeo. If only it wasn't for money. Money is a form of corruption that doesn't let us see beyond our actions. What is the Mona Lisa worth? $780 Million just for some paint on canvas. A toddler could accidentaly put paint on canvas and create a billion dollar masterpiece! It sounds that easy at least. My opinion however falls on lines on whether people find value within things like this. Whether it has a deep meannig engraved in it for all people to see. So that we may be shown something that could change the world. Mona Lisa, worth millions, is just a pretty face on a canvas.
