a painting that represents the wealthy lifestyle of a person.

Many works of modern art in other cultures and periods celebrated wealth and power. They used paintings of Gods, Princes, and Dynasties to illustrate the wealth and were being worshipped. Those paintings were symbolic to them, they sometimes do rituals to the paintings which they believe it was their source of strength. It pertains to what Berger discussed about oil painting because Berger stated, ” the most valuable object of all has become the oil painting” which I believe, modern art has the same way of showing how valuable paintings are. They value paintings not just as a drawing, instead, they value paintings because it appeared from history and we cannot disagree that it has the characteristics and the quality. I think the way they differ is that oil painting stays the original story or the structure of art, unlike modern art, because of today’s era, there is a lot going on to the use of technology that has the power to influence, change information, and adding up the argument that does not come from the real story of the painting.
