Painting is media and power. The mural in the medieval cathedral was considered for the illiterate who could not read the Bible. Only priests had access to type information. This was power. The Reformation weakened this power. New media changes the power. It creates power or moves. Our daily lives exist in this power. Writing, photography, and graphics still influence power. If you need help understanding the power change or shift, you do half art and half business. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Diamonds are useless but expensive. At best, the usefulness of diamonds is just a hardness. There are many beautiful colored gems other than diamonds in the world. Paradoxically, diamonds are worth more because they are useless. A way for the rich to show off their wealth is to show that even if it is futile, they can pay for what others cannot. It is not the only value that is useful in the world. Value purely comes from a human. Focus on how human needs arise.
