I know (almost) nothing about art

For centuries, great European artists mastered a style of art and worked hard to keep it beautiful and pure. I do not at all wish to belittle the quality or significance of this artwork; much of it is awe inspiring.

When one tours old European cities they expect to see this artwork, a beautiful representation of the past.

Today art is much more progressive, pushing to discover the next new 'thing'.  This isnt entirely true, trends do start. But what I really dont like is the chance that art might stagnate again.

I think its possible, yet unimaginable.
