I disagree. I do look at impressionistic paintings, and wish they looked good on large high-definition displays. I am not sure why you think a finer brush would destroy the impressionistic qualities of artwork. That seems like saying we've lost our appreciation for good lighting, because we use LED light bulbs instead of wax candles. Artists can easily canvas on 4k, 8k, or larger resolutions with modern tools, and achieve vistas that will outshine most previous artwork in fidelity. I'm not trying to compare contemporary digital art to pre-modern paintings, because there would be no point. But we can compare the quality of the canvas medium, the fidelity of the work. I am certain anyone who has spent any amount of time creating a digital college, set of high quality wallpapers, etc, has noticed that pre-digital artwork is often vastly lacking in terms of resolution. This contrast is difficult to notice in a museum, where artwork is displayed alongside its peers; it is obvious when comparing it to digital styles of art. There is nothing wrong with wishing for more detail. You can have impressionistic artwork in 16k resolution, and enjoy it too.
