False Idol
Quran 29.17. "You worship only idols instead of God, and thus you invent a mere falsehood (by deifying some things and beings such that it is impossible for them to be Deity). Surely those (beings whom you deify and make statues of, and idols) that you worship instead of God do not have power to provide for you; so seek all your provision from God, and worship Him and be thankful to Him. To Him you are being brought back. "

Aura
Walter Benjamin argued that
'even the most perfect reproduction of a work of art is lacking in one
element: Its presence in time and space, its unique existence at the
place where it happens to be. ' He referred this unique cultural context
i.e. 'its presence in time and space' as its 'aura'.
Plato
In the Republic, Plato says that art imitates the objects and events of ordinary life.
In other words, a work of art is a copy of a copy of a Form. It is even
more of an illusion than is ordinary experience. On this theory, works
of art are at best entertainment, and at worst a dangerous delusion.
Plato
and Aristotle spoke of mimesis as the re-presentation of nature.
According to Plato, all artistic creation is a form of imitation: that
which really exists (in the “world of ideas”) is a type created by God;
the concrete things man perceives in his existence are shadowy
representations of this ideal type.
