I don't know.
So I'm like, what in the heck is this line for?
There's art everywhere, y'all.
Why y'all standing in the line to see a piece of art?
Just look left.
I turn the corner, huge line from the Mona Lisa.
I was like, I ain't waiting in the line, so I'm gonna just walk by and see.
I look at it, it's nice, it's nice.
It's a painting.
It's a painting.
Painted somewhere from 1503 to 1518, I believe historians suggest.
You realize if the Mona Lisa were painted today, might go to garage sale for $20.
Maybe, but why?
Because the Mona Lisa back then depicted a pale woman with thin lips and a large forehead.
And that was the depiction of beauty back then.
Depiction of beauty in 2022, sun-kissed skin, thin waist, nice build.
But why, bro, do we subscribe to a definition of beauty that somebody else set?
Because you can never catch it.
The definition of beauty in the 1500s, vastly different than the definition of beauty now.
What was beautiful then, we don't value now.
