The Mona Lisa Curse is a Grierson award-winning polemic documentary by art critic Robert Hughes that examines how the world’s most famous painting came to change the art world. This documentary made me think about the relationship between money and art and what i had thought about this. It seems many people and artists consider art a business and it is very difficult to deny that there is a definite connection between the freedom to make art and the need to make money. This documentary seemed to show that being interested in art and biding on it was more a popularity contest rather than a desire to own artwork. I think throughout this we are shown the ugly and populist art-business by Robert Hughes. I was very interested in the documentary as it went on, at first I thought it was to long but then i began to find myself very interested in it and began to be disappointed if the class ended before the documentary was over. Robert Hughes is almost sarcastic at certain points throughout this, he often asks people questions he already knows the answers to just so he can hear what they think and how far off there understanding may be.
