It was interesting to see the changes of painting style over time. I like the older ones better.

Fascinating clip. I’m afraid art is devolving.

Yes, they are.

Too bad they all have the ability, if not necessarily the propensity to turn into the psycho-humans from Hell.

You be correct. The later "artists" looked to be on drugs. Other than a few exaggerated eyeball sizes, the older paintings were obviously done to capture the lady, not make some idiotic artsy statement.

One of them is darn near photographic in accuracy. Spooky.

Beautiful. Thank you for posting! Anyone recognize the painter of the portrait at the 1:13 mark? I would like to see the whole thing and other works by the artist.

It isn't the art, it is civilization.
