26 июн 1935 г. - Theorist: Walter Benjamin The Work of Art in the Age of Mechnical Reproduction

Описание:

Walter Benjamin wrote this essay in 1935 which criticizes the use of mechanical reproduction in art and how it devalues the pieces' aura. Themes in the essay are influenced largely by art history and architectural history, as well as cultural studies and media theory.
A direct quote from him illustrates his main idea: "We must expect great innovations to transform the entire technique of the arts, thereby affecting artistic invention itself and perhaps even bringing about an amazing change in our very notion of art."
You will see later in the history and advancements of animation that this idea is seen often- how computer graphics take away from authentic, old-school illustration and the difference in the work that was produced. There's a lost meaning to art in that sense, as everything becomes digitized, and there is less of a need for purely hand-drawn images.
