Where art went wrong

I don't think that I am trying to say exactly that. I would question desire to invent Art or reinvent it. Art as we know it came to full realization and to its peak during Quattrocento or Renaissance era. Before that Aesthetics (or what would become Art) was mostly totally religious activity or was part of religious practices, in general. In Renaissance Art was, first and foremost, humanistic and represented reality and the world. Artists have been continuing this tradition until industrial revolution started to change society dramatically. I am not saying that Modern Art on wrong path because it has separated itself from the people. I don't understand what is common taste? Is there such thing? My point is quite the opposite - modern artists degraded themselves to the level of capitalist barbarity, to vulgar relations of trade. Today, modern Art is pure commerce, it is forced to be entertainment for the masses. It tries to shock and provoke bourgeois and common public, yes, but that's just inertia or habit since Cubists. Even classical Art that was providing existential intensity and was putting viewer into state of crisis is undergoing makeover of culture machine, getting trapped into museums that are more like "educational" Malls or Apple Stores. Museums are forced to become profitable thus attracting hordes of tourists and turning themselves into train stations. There is no escape for humans anymore from economy and its dictate.

fuck i love idiots who rail against modern art and cream themselves dry over the fucking renaissance
the renaissance was the big mistake in art
not modernism

i don't think it was the renaissance  tbh
it was the enlightenments response to renaissance art
that was the big mistake
that's where art was really pulled from the religious imperative
(which isn't the same as the christian imperative)
post hoc

art was never so proud of its stagnation as it was in the 19th century
stagnant and no values
prettyness
bad times

The idiot does make a point in his second paragraph

You can't do honest art following the capitalist imperitive
which means any success you find will be success of the moment
unsustainale
