The film, Curse of the Mona Lisa, provided viewers with a different perspective on the art world. We were able to see how the art world has turned from a passion to a cost driven market. Many new artists seem to have only a focus on making money from their artwork. Older artists and critiques are disheartened by the change in the art market. It is amazing to see how some art is sold for million and millions of dollars. Art has become a serious business. It started in the 70's when museums started to market shows/exhibits and held events for big businesses. This helped changed the face of art and bring about an income in a business that was losing money. I was surprised to see this different world of art, however found it to be very interesting.
