Walter Pach is complaining about modern art. He is talking about how going away from the old way of making art is wrong.
I have been talking to other artists and also people who do not study and make art regularly. Not everyone, but alot of people I know who don't study art, don't appreciate vague artwork. Now what I mean by that is art that isn't all about the details. I once brought my cousin into the PCAC and she very shyly said "ummm I don't really like anything in here, I like your older work." And what she mean by that was the work I did in high school to get photo realism. I completely understand what she means by that, but the more I learn about colors, composition and all things painty, the more I love the looser, more playful stuff. I like to see skill and emotion, dedication and expression. Things have been reproduced, now is the time to create.
