    I vehemently do no agree that art is only valuable because of it’s monetary worth. I pity you if that’s the only value you see.

      LOL

      I did not say monetary value was art’s only worth. However art that hangs in a museum got there because of its value. This is true across history and across cultures

      You pity me?

      Would love to hear about your art background and knowledge.

      I grew up around art. I am surrounded by art and artists everyday of my life. Literally

      Art is work. Artists do not work for free. Just like you don’t work for free. Some work is more valuable than other work. Some art is more valuable than other art

      Some art has very little artistic value, meaning it adds little to the conversation and the world of art

        You’re just wrong bro lol.

        Artists make WAY more art “for free” than they do for monetary gain. I absolutely pity the fact that your concept of human expression is so tied to societies weird dependency on “value” and the institution of money.
