But are they crushing in because of the anatomical accuracy of a piece? No. They are doing it because of the names of the artists. There are mountains of works that are as precise as anything by the 20 most loved artists that get no lines in museums. The motivation for most people to see a piece by Vermeer is the same as the motivation to see a piece by Monet or even deKooning.

Picasso couldn't have achieved in abstraction if he hadn't been classically trained. And that's easy to verify: take an imitation (of which there are many) and an original. Even someone not well-versed it art can pick out the original.
