I was contemplating this painting for a while and suddenly thought "I don't remember that chap" and then realized it was a photograph of someone contemplating the Searat.

I totally agree with you, Ambera. The lasting of an art work is an interesting topic.
I get the impression that in our era of consumerism people tend to think that art in general is a product like any other. I would even say that art is sometimes treated like fast food. People don't have time for contemplation anymore.
