. works of art have an inherent "Aura."
. Cave paintings are the first form of "Aura".
. Aura created a cult of beauty.
. the rise of technology/mechanism(reproduction) helped destroy the aura.
. photography has/had/will destroy the aura.
. Walter Benjamin used the term "aura" when describing the effect Hashish had on him in 1930
. Without the aura art would become political. Reproduction would make art political. (both a good thing and a bad thing)
