Why is modern art ruining everything.

Other artists like Antonio Lopez Garcia or Andrew Wyeth had successful careers despite painting realistically when it wasn't in vogue. The art world doesn't mean shit.

Megeeren turned salty and wrote in a magazine where he shat on modern art and art critics so he had trouble selling because he was a salty shit

Sounds like it's his fault then and not modern art. Godward committed suicide and in his note he blamed Picasso and the modern art world, and yet you'd be stupid to believe that that was the real cause of it. The dude was dealing with mental issues stemming from when he was a kid and probably would have off'd himself anyways.

He sucks. Late 19th and early 20th century really are filled with retards. How can his works fool people into thinking they are Vermeer?
Modern art was shit, but I'm not surprised people turned to it since the other kind of art was also very bad.
19th century nationalism in art was a mistake.

Antonio Lopez has a a career in modern art world because he is a modern artist himself, concerned with his own time and problems, offering 20/21st century solutions. If he took his great technique and just copied what the old masters did like megeeren, he would be an unknown art peddler selling caricatures to tourists
