I think it's common, for those who seek meaning in art, to find it comforting that art can persist for a long time.

Because the corpse of the artwork seems permanent, the whole experience is felt to be also, even though it is not.

For this reason I think it is important for those who seek to create meaningful art to focus on the aspects of artistic creation that have timeless value, and avoid drawing excessively from other works that require social context to understand.

The process of artistic creation has to some extent a temporal social aspect that is similar to the process of consumption that creation appears to transcend.
