Restoring and Preserving Art

[Phaze]

I think restoration is acceptable if it can accurately restore the original - obviously it's not going to be perfect, nothing is. However, if it isn't botched (like a certain painting of Jesus) I think it's a good idea.

Preservation should always be a thing, even if it's in simple, non-direct ways like taking pictures/scans, especially digital (as copying those will never cause degradation unlike taking copies of analogue signals ).
