Maybe you are looking in the wrong places? Figurative painting — pretty much the definition of glorifying humanity - has made a HUGE comeback over the past decade or so, to the point where we art nerds make jokes about it. There is still a lot of “difficult” art out there, and plenty of IMO anti-humanist work, but the breadth of styles that are taken seriously is greater than it ever was in history. You don’t have to like everything. There’s plenty out there you probably would like.
