<human>:  Why did the author call his book ‘The Work of Art’?
<bot>: The author was a philosopher called Walter Benjamin. He was writing about the artwork of the past and present, and the ways in which art can be understood as a mode of production. He believed that art was not a static object, but a process that was always changing. The author of the book wanted to express this idea, and so called the book The Work of Art.
