Is classical art dead?

Response to bluelotus' response: Yes, art today is like interpretive literature or poetry. It's not really native to a visual experience, and you have to have read the right critics and art historians to "get it". I think his point was, how have people gotten away with taking the love and the passion out of art? How is it right that someone can design something, have someone else make it, and call that art? So, you had an idea, and it's clever, and the curators love it. Great. Perhaps the curators have seen too much art. It's also possible to listen to too much music. I work in one of the US' top museums, and I see a lot of crap come in and out of there. Art that only requires "research" and not looking inward as well as outward can have a very narrow appeal and effect.

Is classical art dead?
God no classic art not dead, neither will it ever be dead. Classic artist have an air of mystery and magic to them and with the rising interest in the supernatural within popular culture and the likes of Dan Brown trusting the classics to the entire planet the people of this world will appreciate classic art and artist for many years to come regardless of trends in the modern art clicks.

Reply:Classical art will never die and that’s because we still fell grateful for our routs – old teachers of art. But don’t be so negative while talking about modern art – it’s the time when every artist is looking for his passion and at this particular moment anyone can make a mistake. Eventually we will have new classics and new modern art.
Reply:The reason anything is considered a classic is because it stands the test of time. It is perennial. It defies trends. It is the standard all aspire to achieve.





What is considered art can became as shifting as the sands. There are trends that come and go, but true art remains.
Reply:classical art is neither dead nor alive because we can see it alive on special occassions or well organised functions
