/^t/True art does not intrude itself upon us. We are free to decide whether to listen to some kind of music, to look at a given picture, to admire some piece of a sculpture, or not. True art does not tell us: "Look, I am the best and the most beautiful piece of art. Buy me, taste me, listen to me". True art lives forever. Advertisements act quite opposite: they are noisy, showy, officious. They will not be art as long as they are produced mechanically and they concern the trivial things of everyday use.
