[QUOTE="Ophiolite, post: 77639045, member: 234799"] Yes, we see things through the eyes of our time and our environment. One of the attractions of science for me is that it objective and permits absolute, within limits, measurements and determinations. One of the attractions of art, on the other hand, is that it doesn't. I suspect that art and religion fire the same neurons in our brains. But we should remember that to create great art requires both a form of spiritual inspiration as well as a mastery of technique and materials. Michaelangelo is said to have stared long and hard at the marble from which he would fashion his David. He [B]knew [/B]that piece of marble before he laid any chisel to it. If this isn't too personal, did you find that the commercial aspects of dealing in art, assigning monetary value, impacted in anyway on your appreciation of the piece, for good or bad? [/QUOTE]
