- musicale 5y agoSame thing with physical art - even if it lacks monetary value, you still have something beautiful that you can hang on your wall. A physical painting could also have attractive qualities (texture/depth, color, reflectivity/diffusion/sparkle, etc.) that a flat print might not have. (On the other hand, a print might correct some deficiencies in the original such as damage, cracks, or fading.)
