The one thing that stood out the most in this article was
when Walter Benjamin writes,
“Artistic production begins with figures in the service of magic. What
is important for these figures is that they are present, not seen.” I agree
with this statement in that, I personally don’t create my art to be judged by
the masses but create it because it needs to be and because I can. It doesn’t
need to be seen but only to exist because it’s something that has been done.
Also a point to be made is that most people have not seen the actual Mona Lisa or
the Sistine Chapel but can still appreciate the art through today’s technology.
