Question

Is "fine art" less important now than it used to be?

Answer 1

To some people yes, but the some no. Some people still love it! But some dont appreciate it that much!

Answer 2

I don't think it's any less important,

actual talent just gets less attention nowadays,

when was the last time you saw a piece of art in the headlines that wasn't 'controversial'?

look at this quote my friend told me

''Contemporary art is about novelty...

the need to entertain,

and the insatiable child-like need to be entertained

have artists merely become entertainers?!''

unfortunately i think they have,

i guess people are just too distracted by the half dead sheep over there
