What I Am Trying To Say Is That It Is Not Without Any Value. The Value Of Copies Is That They Can Direct Us Towards The Original. I Was Recently At The Louvre Museum And I Was Filming People Who Were Viewing The Mona Lisa. I Noticed The Number Of Ordinary People, Astonished, Mouths Agape, Standing Still For Long Stretches Looking At The Work, And I Wondered, "where Does This Come From? Are These People All Art Connoisseurs?" They Are Like Me; Through The Years, We've Seen This Work In Our Schoolbooks Or Art History Books, But When We Stand Before The Original, We Hold Our Breath.
