I don't think I can really agree with that (at least, in the way it's
formulated/in the way I comprehend it). It seems you're implying that every
work of art carries an "expiration date", after which it no longer has any
relevance... (Also see below).

I'd be truly interested in hearing you develop that opinion, if possible.
