Question: Is "fine art" less important now than it used to be!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I don't think it's any less important,
actual talent just gets less attention nowadays,
when was the last time you saw a piece of art in the headlines that wasn't 'controversial'!?
look at this quote my friend told me
''Contemporary art is about novelty!.!.!.
the need to entertain,
and the insatiable child-like need to be entertained
have artists merely become entertainers!?!''
unfortunately i think they have,
i guess people are just too distracted by the half dead sheep over thereWww@QuestionHome@Com

To some people yes, but the some no!. Some people still love it! But some dont appreciate it that much!Www@QuestionHome@Com
