In his essay, ‘The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction’, precisely argues that Art is replicable and it draws us to the issues with its originality. The reproduction of art negatively affects the original work and furthermore, it decays the appreciation of time and space. Like films with mechanical equipment destroys the aura of art and they show us false existence by using lighting and special effects. For example, where film and photography present an image of pictures, painting tends to remain original. However, as we live in twentieth century, film and photography massively become one of the main sources in modern art and the replicated art like is considered as art itself. As illustrates, photographers are the artists who create their own art by using all the images that we see everyday. Taking photos is a same process as painting except using cameras instead of brushes and each photo has its own value and meaning like the other painting pieces.
Clearly, Art is changeable.
