The world is contantly changing it's face, and with each generation a new form and style of art is born. Keeping up with this ever changing world, while maintaining appreciation for old style art and new styles, is an incredible feat. One has to analyze why a particular generation favored a particular style of art, and deem whether their perception of it was rational. This is the goal of an art critic--forming a rational basis for what is good and what isn't.
During the time period of Impressionist paintings, many art critics of the time dissmissed their works, while now their works are put on a pedestal. Academic painters once glorified, are now lost in time.
One observation is that art seems to be as fickle as fashion.
My question is this: In an ever changing world, is art always subjective to the time? Does it come and go like a trend?
