The End Of Classic Art

What is classic art to you? To many it would be renaissance art. This picture here is classic art no doubt. You see a lot of detail in this picture and it's very clear. The reason for that is back then paintings were their photographs so they wanted to do a good job. That kinda makes me like painting more now. We all have digital cameras and cell phone cameras but we never think about how before all that paintings were the only way anyone could remember any person or place. Classic art is dead with the rise of photographs and those have been around a long time. The irony is how art has evolved. We have artworks all around us now that are just as good or better than those greats and we don't acknowledge them. Painting styles are cooler and more detailed now. You could call many modern classics. Photo art is amazing now days with the ability to manipulate photos and put multiples together. Truth is we've surpassed the greats a long time ago but the greats are the greats. It's like comics; we've all but mastered the comic art and there is some really cool comic art out there now days. Old comics are classic but the ones we have now are so much more full of talent that it's really ironic. Modern art is not classic but it could be. The problem is there are so many great artists now that it would be too many to notice. Real art is done for the art, not for acknowledgement, although it does help. The craft comes first. Tattooists are also highly skilled artists. It's not easy. Very skilled art.
