1. Please post an entry in your blog. Respond to Benjamin’s concern about the fate or art in the age of mechanical reproduction. What happens to art when it is reproduced endlessly, what happens to a culture for whom the “sacred” in art vanishes?

I feel that the culture that surrounds the paintings created through out the ages, is seriously disappearing. Not as many people have the appreciation for the paintings as there should be. Paintings done today, are also not like they were made ways back. I feel as if everyone can be a "painter" because they created one piece, or what not. The appreciation level for painting needs to rise, before it really does vanish.
