Huh, that's very interesting. I've always considered Art to be timeless, bc it is, all of it. Davinci did a lot of cool stuff but the Mona Lisa made him the most famous person and I really don't see that changing. I have a painting hanging over my head rn whose artist died in the 1680s - the painting is over 100 years older than the Declaration of Independence and was brought over here on a ship with sails that took forever.

Impermanent art. That just bothers me.

An artist that dedicates their life to such a thing is like swimming in the fountain of youth without ever taking a drink.
