PUBLIC TASTE
A shift in public taste is what people say when they see something unusual.
I always notice that there are many arguments about anything new or different. It can be new artwork, songs, or any other form of art. At the same time, it makes me wonder, why does the old judge new creations?
Who is right? And who has the right to judge? Also, I wonder whether I am supposed to present a masterpiece of art with a lot of effort?
In December 2019,  an Italian artist Catellan presented a piece of art that featured a {fresh banana} duct-taped to a wall and was displayed at an art exhibition in the U.S. Surprisingly, the artwork was sold for $120,000!!!!!!!!
Thus, I left questioning what determines the value Money or trends are some of the potential determinants of artworks.
Nevertheless, if it is money, how did no one buy Van Goh's artwork when he was alive? and he only sold one painting in his entire life. Yet, nowadays, his paintings are displayed in the world's most prestigious museums alongside the works of Da Vinci, 
Even if catellan's artwork has been widely mocked and wasn't worth $120,000 as crazy as that seems at least his artwork inspired me to do this project.

The baby is the only one that appears with his face as a sign of the new generation "modern art"
I mixed the old art with the modern one by adding the banana sign (modern art) in the old paintings. And also by choosing the gold classic frames for the modern paintings
