Stellar post.
You're not completely correct when you say realism has been done. First of realism is alive and well today, but it's presence is diminished for good reason, most notably the camera. Nothing has changed the face of art quite like the invention of the camera, a great example of technology's transformative influence on culture.
- hetman 14y agoIndeed, I didn't mean to suggest realism is no longer an interesting art form. It is certainly well established, and perhaps this is a testament to the fact it has plenty to offer. I was simply attempting to bring across that many artists are more interested in less familiar uncharted territory in which to push the boundaries of new exciting ideas.
- jberryman 14y agoThe camera actually has told us a lot of unexpected things about "what is art?" e.g. Objectivity is a lie, accurate representation alone is worthless (the snapshot is not art unless the artist says so), representation is boring, there are no "beautiful things", etc.
