I have spent an autistic and concerning amount of time on many outlets of "artists" who specialize in realistic portraits and use oil paints. They claim that they have painted for 10-50 years, and yet their artworks are never even close to the master's as far as quality goes. Though there are some artists today who can replicate pictures and even paint something that can fool the majority of people and make them wonder if it is a painting or a real photo, yet it is missing the beauty and charm of what the masters dished out. What exactly is it that modern humanity cannot get right? Is it the fact that the modern paintings aren't painted with trees or hills? Is it the absense of a beautiful background? The nudity and skinny yet curvature and feministic portrayal of women that no longer exists? Is it the style? Is it based on the soul of the painter and their aspirations? What the hell are modern day painters missing? Are the capabilities from those old time periods just incapable of existing today?
