I am completely appalled by Art's statements but I don't want to get into a flame-war. All I'm going to say is that art is something that has value and mantains it's value forever. How can you say that when an artist is dead, the art retains no value? No, I have not been brainwashed. But I am in awe when I go to the Metropolitan museum of art or some other musuem. I love art. It is appealing to the eye, it can be expressive and deep and tell a story and believe it or not, there is a ton of skill and knowledge that goes into a great painting/sculpture. Additionally, in many ways, the values of a culture find their way into art, making them valuable for future generations to read into and learn from them.
Please don't stand there and tell me that someone like Leonardo Da Vinci should have all his work destroyed. Don't tell me that the only value to his work is a conspiracy.
I don't know what to say but I doubt it's any use trying to argue or rationalize with you about this...so I'm just going to say that I disagree.
...As for the topic at hand. It's the museum's fault. What kind of idiot puts priceless artwork into a museum with absolutely no security and expects everything to remain fine and dandy?
