I enjoyed hearing your arts perspective. As an engineer I love art history but know so little. I don’t want the arts to go away either.
Look up those movements and tell me they weren’t designed to erode away classic techniques and beauty. There is so much more that has destroyed art. Follow the trends of war and revolution. You’ll see that after major conflicts, new schools were introduced that promoted efficiency, absurdity, and implied messaging.
Art used to be able to tell a story. Now, a couple wavy lines on a canvas supposedly “represents the turmoil of the human soul in its desperate attempt for relevance” or some such nonsensical self-appointed important message.
Source: went to art school from 18-29 on and off. They frown upon beauty. They hate crisp technique. They love the more inane bullshit and flowery descriptions you assign to your work.
You gotta check out Mikeswmathis.com. He writes about art and more on his updates section of his web site
Oddly enough, I was unable to access his website with the url you provided. Wouldn’t even show up until I typed out his complete name in a search engine.
If you like him his art criticisms are under WRITINGS. He says modernism is a 3 letter led psyops to debase art, and also then us. Much like you stated. : )
