Ancient times - I’d like a giant sculpture of Zeus but make it have my face. Also, my wife wants a giant sculpture of Aphrodite with perfect perky tits but make it have her face.
Modern times - Block of concrete = feelings or poverty or some shit.

Modern art: the most random weird ass thing you've ever seen, I love it.
Here's an old TV set from the 60s, it plays a black and white loop of a man in a suit sitting on a chair and laughing. Don't know what the fuck it means but it fascinated me for good 5 minutes, until I was distracted by a clay figurine of Bavarian men mooning me.
i love art lol
More like, we’ve already done many big dudes so why not big boxes?
More like, it's easier to launder money and dodge taxes if nobody can second-guess your buddy - the art evaluator...
Also, making big dudes requires time, money, and skill. Boxes though...
