A masterpiece is an old fashioned art term for a work completed by an artist at the top of their game. Or perhaps an artist who is now dead so suddenly ALL their works are deemed masterpieces to inflate their value... Is it possible for a living artist to produce a masterpiece? I am not sure. I reckon Damien Hirst thinks his Shark in Formaldehyde is one, or his Jewel Skull. Somehow I don't think Tracy Emin regards her tent as one. I think some of the definition of a "living masterpiece" rests on how big the artist's ego is. I reality I think a masterpiece is a piece of work that transcends its own time and resonates with future generations of viewers. May I suggest that any of Monet's Water Lilies could be considered masterpieces for this reason? How about Picasso's Guernica, Goya's The Third of May, Rothko's Black on Maroon? God, I sound like an art teacher...
