Recently in Southern Africa, a controversial painting that exposed their president's genitals was exhibited at a gallery. This picture was then defaced by an opposing citizen when he splashed a bucket of paint over the area of exposure. This caused a huge up roar and the citizen was arrested for damage to property. Such was the upset, that there was later a protest outside the gallery. People were very unhappy about the whole story and the painting still hangs in the gallery today.
Famous artworks in the great galleries of the world are safely guarded as they are beyond valuable. These pieces are irreplaceable, as the power of art is incredible. They usually depict times gone by and give an idea of what life was like in those times and eras. Other areas of interesting works are the cave drawings. This work shows the people of those days hunting for food. The great works found in the pyramids also give ideas of how they lived in those days.
