I've often wondered if one reason we don't get amazing like-life paintings is because we have photos.

- mrtksn 3y agoWe do get those, search for photorealistic paintings. It's just that they are not very popular and people don't value them much. They tend to be interesting only in the context of being a painting that looks like a photo. AFAIK with the proliferation of photography the people who used to do life-like painting of other people lost a lot of business and it seized being a profession.
