Art has changed over time and with the advent of new technology nothing has stopped art changing with it. Pop art made so famous in the middle of the 20th century can be reproduced by computer programs in less than half an hour. If you want to know what you look like as a cartoon then again there is a computer program which can do this.

As such art has reached an interesting period where the lack of imagination of the present generation has led to physical and at times questionable art. A dirty bed being nominated for a Turner Prize and a series of animals chopped in half and placed in formaldehyde actually winning a Turner Prize.

Art now is more readily available. It is easy to find websites on the internet where you can buy images of famous pieces of art. They are all available in all shapes and sizes and for enormously different prices. They can even come framed so you only have to hammer a nail into your wall and it will be hanging there. Your own piece of highly original art, brilliantly and individually chosen by yourself and the other half a million people who saw it on the most popular tab in the online store.

Art has been opened up to the world as people no longer have to visit art galleries or exhibitions to see these pieces of work, they can simply type the title of the art into a search engine. Fortunately there are still exhibitions where great art can be seen and enjoyed by those who value the work of the artists.
