I think you look at the development of art from the outside - Indeed, the advent of photography in the late 19 century. art emancipated from the need to "make similar", so the events in the early 20. impression of a leap forward. But I'm not sure that the appearance of all these-isms so important. In the 20 century. were remarkable artists, they were before. Who in the 20. can compare, say, Rembrandt or Velasquez?

In no case does not diminish the significance of Romanesque sculpture and Byzantine mosaics. L think I'll be more global. I say that in the history of art have been spikes in which the arts was gaining tremendous momentum, and that was produced later for several centuries, was based fundamentally on just those peaks. I absolutely agree with you that at all times were talented artists in every century. But their maximum concentration in one time in one place "falls exactly on these outbreaks. Agree that the ancient Greeks, and later the Romans for many centuries ahead have predetermined shapes and forms of art. After Byzantine art grew out of Roman and not whether such a development culture in Greece and Rome, no one knows when to appear Byzantine art. Sculpture, mosaics, vases, paintings, etc. - It's actively developed precisely at the time of ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, so I think that if there was a strong leap in the development of art. (and, I would like to mention a European. to Asia, he had nothing to do. so happens that we are exposed to pro-European point of analysis of the stories).
Next, in my opinion, the strongest in the art of revolution came with the invention of oil. You yourself see how many names: Raphael, Michelangelo, Velasquez, Titian, Rubens, Cranach, Breughel, Bosch, etc. Where the same name between 500-600, and 1400? and where the same names since the mid 17 to mid 19? Yes, in these times of big names to appear, but their unity.

Not bad impression. Impressionism, expressionism, abstrakitsya, supremacism - that impression? Gauguin, Cezanne, Monet, Van Gogh, Kandinsky, Campendonk, Marc, Picasso, Dali, Filonov, Malevich - this impression? All right already, we will not consider Dyushama, Pollock and Warhol ... this century there was a grandiose leap forward in the art was invented many new types and forms that do not understand that concept at all possible to invent a new right now. That is what was dedicated to my first post that you have a light hand was called a fool.
