Like what’s the point of owning art if you ain’t showing anyone? And why should anyone care if ou destroyed art you weren’t willing to show it anyways? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Xeroxchasechase@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Thanks. Original art have some kind of intrinsic aura, by the art proccess itself. That's the difference between arts and craft or even art and design.
