Mechanical Reproduction

I appreciate the technology of reproducing. We see reproductions  of artwork everywhere. Some people may not have the opportunity to visit an art museum and see the original works of artists. The mass public has a chance to see art in other forms such as in a book, on a coffee mug, clothing etc.....I don't think the value of its original is lost, I believe its more the level of appreciation for it. I know if I were to see an original piece of artwork say in a museum, my level of appreciation for it will be grow.
