Painting Never Died

Painting Never Died:

Lately I’ve been reading about the past claim that painting is dead. This bold charge still makes its rounds today on online forums and art blogs-- and will most likely continue to do so. However, while it is true-- specifically in the last few decades-- that the relevance of painting as a means of expression has been called into question-- it is also true that powerful works of art involving paintings continue to come into light. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that the advent of the Internet has fueled the dominance of painting further within the art world as a whole-- and within the opinion of the public in general concerning art.
