“Most people find it difficult to believe that a state of consciousness totally free of all negativity is possible. And yet this is the liberated states to which all spiritual teachings point. It is the promise of salvation, not in an illusory future but right here and now.”

I have asked previously, "What makes an artistic work great?" and I got 2 replies for it. (if it needs more than 140 letters you can write your answer in the "ask" section.
For example; the greatness of Mona lisa by Leonardo DaVinci lied in it’s composition and how Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo has no facial expression yet she appears to be smiling in her portrait, so the greatness was in the technique and manipulation.
The greatness of The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh lied in the story behind it, and how he was left behind by his lover.
The greatness of Andy Warhol’s art is the revolutionary aspect he was expressing. Presenting vivid modern art like his was exceptional at time art was the old traditional canvas like. Even if we found similar projects to that of Warhol’s nowadays, we would call it a cliche, or a normal art? But the greatness lied in the revolution in Warhol’s time.
There are so many examples of artists who gave so much to art. We as hobbyists or -even- professionals, What can we consider to do a great piece?
