    We categorically did not gave up paints entirely. That’s an ignorant and naive statement.

      Of course not, and I was not implying that either. I was merely illustrating the influence of technology on artistic expression.

      Case în point: silkscreen collages, to stay in the analog domain. Andy Warhol is widely recognised as an artistic genius these days. That wasn’t the case iback then.

        Andy Warhol was one of the most popular and famous artist of his era, while he was alive. He was considered such a genious that he threw parties with Hollywood stars and millionaires. What are you on about? Are you just willfully ignorant? repeating some AI hallucinations? Who fed you these lies?

          You seem to mistake popularity for acceptance. Warhol was hugely controversial in his day, especially in the beginning of his career (the Campbell Soup expo?). Most great artists are controversial, because they tend to push the status quo until it shatters.

          And tone down the ad hominem, this isn’t reddit, we’re just having a conversation about art.
