Pieces like this one by Bouguereau:

that’s good stuff. I’ve been into many Mexican restaurants that have some art like that hanging on their walls which I’ve admired and I’ve seen local painters at art shows who are just “regular Joes” but some are really good. Personally I like the photorealism artists because of the effort they put into it but I enjoy different styes as long as its art and not just objects thrown together with a plaque on it by someone who has no business being an artist. If you’re going to be an artist at least try to create art and put a little brain power into it right? I know, ?eye of the beholder”, but obviously some are blind...lol

Bouguereau is awesome.

But once photography advanced to a certain level, the desire for photorealistic paintings naturally waned - except in the fantasy/sci-fi genre, where painting the impossible still mattered.

Modern Art is yet another Communist assault on Western Civilization, an attempt to sneer at standards by elevating garbage. But there is hope for a comeback, as right now they are all too busy sneering at Trump to bother much with painting :)
