ince time immemorial, Art has been understood to be the savior of mankind from all the afflictions of life. It completed the vacant spots of an individual with rich and soulful beauty.To be precise, Art is the expression of human skills and imaginations, which can create an object that is aesthetic in nature and pleases the sentiments of common people as well as satisfies the thirst of intellectuals.Money! Money! Money! Today the whole world is running after this demon of avarice. The greed for money never dies pushing even reputed renowned and sophisticated artists to go head crazy after commercializing their art piece, but the thing that fades with time and eventually dies is real talent. People commercialize their works with the sole aim of making fabulous amount of money. But behind the heaps of money that they make, there's a grave issue that needs to be highlighted. This issue is of the death of real talent. Is it possible that we can actually live in a world where people see and think for themselves? I, who have been an avid admirer of the arts and of the freedom do believe that commercialization, heavy promotion, marketing etc is a threat to the real talent of artists. Marketing, commercialization, replication through posters and images, as well as religious leanings have biased the perception of art in the world today. How many millions of dollars have been made by replicating the Mona Lisa or Frescos from the Sistine Chapel. Angels, demons, Gods, Serpents, and other religious Catholic "images" are famous the world over. How long will it take before the other religions with "graven images" (not associated with the Church) get an understanding of the art to be made and decide to promote their "artists" on a mass scale. For shame..... You can NOT buy and sell God. Frescos of Casa Bartholdy in RomSzene: The Selling of Joseph It is indeed a disgraceful opinion to relate art with money. But, as the bitter nature of truth stands today, Art is getting commercialized and is leading to the death of authentic talent.There were times when artists like Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo walked on our planet. They were not seeking capital from their respective works, but rather a sense of self-satisfaction and self-fulfillment. |

Dear Vibhasa Ji I read your write-up two times to add some thing to your write-up,but could not suggest any thing more.I enjoy painting myself,and the suggestion given by you ---"You can Not buy and sell God",is the quintessence of the true art,which is Satyam--Shivam Sundaram,in the indian context. I congratulate you from the inner recesses of my heart.
